'''Warming Up to You'''
Toiréir Gruaid

[...]

Though I know you will wither as a corpse, [Or: Even when you have withered as a corpse]
I still gladly bask in your warmth, [Or: I would still bask in the memories of your warmth]
For the same warmth nurtures curiosity,
The leaves of knowledge -
A garden that you have planted in this plot of land,
and forever will keep.

==Notes==
*Tíogall is a VSO language that allows topicalization. Morphosyntax is ergative in the preterite tense, and accusative in other tenses. For more details, see the [[Tíogall]] page.
*The formal way of forming the possessive "X of Y" is X-CONST Y, but the construction ''an X le Y'' is also valid and is more common in informal speech. 
*To turn adjectives into adverbs, it is normally required to use ''go'' + [ADJECTIVE], but poems may omit the ''go''. 
*''-na'' or ''-ne'' is normally an emphatic clitic; it can be added in poetry for metrical reasons.
*The following pairs of vowels are considered to be the same for the purposes of rhyming: /ɪ iː ɛ eː/ = /ʏ yː œ øː/
