Caíne ailmi...

Caíne ailmi
ardomm-peitet
ní íar n-a creicc.

(beautiful * pines / (that) for me play / not * after * their * purchasing)

Beautiful the pines
that make music for me
unhired.

A haiku-like example of Early Irish nature poetry, although this verse is actually only a half-stanza from the much longer poem “King and Hermit”.
