    It's a WB Yeats poem

    Wine comes in at the mouth
    And love comes in at the eye;
    That's all we shall know for truth
    Before we grow old and die.
    I lift the glass to my mouth,
    I look at you, and I sigh.

    Many thanks to anyone that can help

    I think this is one for Nuala Rua Ní Dhomhnaill or Cathal Ó Searcaigh !

    All I could translate were the following lines:

    Is dán de chuid WB Yeats é

    Míle buíochas le haon duine a chabhraíonn liom

    :p

    Tagann fíon isteach ag a'béal
    Is an grá isteach ag a'súil;
    Sin méad ár dtuiscint ar fhírine
    Roimh teacht seanaoise is an bháis.
    Ardaím an ghloine chuim bhéal,
    Breathnaím ort, is ligim osna.
