When rooks fly homeward And shadows fall, When roses fold On the hay-yard wall, "When blind moths flutter By door and tree, Then comes the quiet Of Christ to me. When stars look out On the Children's Path, And grey mists gather On carn and rath, When night is one With the brooding sea, Then comes the quiet Of Christ to me.

Préacháin ag filleadh Is titeann scáth, An rós fá shuan San iothlainn tá, Na leamhain dhalla ’Na n-eitilt rúin Is seoltar síth Ár dTiarna chugam. Nuair ’bhreathnaíonn réalt’ Ar an Ógchosán, Nuair a chruinníonn ceo Go dlúth sa ráth, Nuair ’théann an oích’ Sa sáile ciúin Sea ’sheoltar síth Ár dTiarna chugam.
