Griogal Cridhe/Gregor of the Heart

how this unspeakable sadness sank in
to an old Gaelic tune
with an unpronounceable name
played by a young string quartet

never before fully felt 
inherited deep and rich

sadness landed
bitter but sweet
not heavy just right

so brave the knight
so loving his lady
so cold the night

thank you Mór Chaimbeul 
great tune and great sadness
bittersweet madness
your love my delight
