Brigit of the Mantles, Brigit of the Peat-Heap Brigit of the twining hair Brigit of the Augury
Brigit of the white feet Brigit of calmness Brigit of the white palms brigit of the Kine
Brigit Woman-Comrade Brigit of the Peat-Heap Brigit Woman helper Brigit Woman mild
EACH DAY AND EACH NIGHT I SHALL SAY THE DECENT OF BRIGIT
I shall not be slain I shall not be Sworded I shall not be put into a cell I shall not be hewn I shall not be riven I shall not be anguished I shall not be wounded I shall not be ravaged I shall not be blinded I shall not be made naked I shall not be left bare Nor will the ancestors leave me forgotten
Nor shall fire burn me Nor shall sun burn me Nor shall moon blanche me
Nor water shall drown me Nor flood shall drown me Nor brine shall drown me
Nor seed of fairy host shall lift me Nor seed of airy host shall lift me Nor earthly being destroy me
I AM UNDER THE SHIELDING OF GOOD BRIGIT EACH DAY I AM UNDER THE SHIELDING OF GOOD BRIGIT EACH NIGHT
I am under the keeping of the three brigits ! Each early and Each late Every dark and Every light
Brigit is my comrade -woman Brigit is my maker of songs Brigit is my helping-woman the choicest of women, my guide.
