Dán as gaeilge. (Irish Poem)

cork_ie

I learnt a poem as gaeilge in national school.
It started with the line - "ó áit go háit go breá mo shúil i siopa sean earraí"
Does anyone have the full poem or know the name of it?

Spelling may not be entirely correct - it was a long time ago!!

I wish I could help but I haven't a clue. Somebody else was looking for a poem a while ago and I trawled the net but found very few Irish language childrens poems published on the net. They mostly seem to be tucked away in books. Hopefully somebody else who has a collection of children's poems can help.

The opening line is almost exactly the start of "Sa ghleann inár togadh mé" by Dubhghlas de hÍde. But the last two words of your line don't feature. Here it is anyway in case you may have made a mistake:

Ó háit go háit ba bhreá mo shiúl
'S dob ard mo léim ar bharr an tsléibhe
San uisce fíor ba mhór mo dhúil
'S ba bheo mo chroí i lár mo chléibhe
Mar chos an ghiorria do bhí mo chos,
Mar iarann gach alt is féith,
Bhí an sonas romham, thall 's abhus,
Sa ghleann inar tógadh mé.

Ba chuma liomsa fear ar bith,
Ba chuma liom an domhan iomlán,
Mar rith an fhia do bhí mo rith,
Mar shruth an tsléibh' ag dul le fán;
Is ní raibh rud ar bith sa domhan,
Nach ndéanfainn (dá mba mhaith liom é)
Do léim mo bhád ar bharr na habhann.
Sa ghleann inar tógadh mé.

Gach ní dá bhfacas le mo shúil,
Bhí sé, dar liom, ar dhath an óir,
Is annamh a dhearcainn ar mo chúl,
Ach ag dul ar aghaidh le misneach mór,
Do leanainnse gan stad gan scíth
Mo rún, nuair chuirinn romham é;
Do bhéarfainn, dar liom, ar an ngaoth,
Sa ghleann inar tógadh mé.

Ní hamhlaidh tá sé liom anois,
Do bhí mé luath, 'nois tá mé mall;
Is é mo léan, an aois do bhris
Sean-neart mo chroí is lúth mo bhall;
Do chaill mé mórán 's fuair mé fios,
Ar mhórán - och ní sású é-
Mó léan mo léan gan mé arís óg
Sa ghleann inar tógadh mé.
