He wanders the lands of the dreaming
He sings the songs of the unliving
He sings the death of trees
(The lovebirds have left)
Prick of frost
Icing of water
Passing of time
(The lovebirds have left)
And he is Father Winter
All-seer!
Notes
literally 'dreamers'
literally 'those not alive'
a play on words as peadid can refer to both a amorous couple and a pair of a bird that migrates south during winter
a “frozen” phrase meaning 'frostbite', a more modern version would be lumallaega.
He drifts over dreaming lands,
He sings songs of stillness
He sings songs of dying oak, Fly Lovers with [the] Birds
[The] gentle prick of forst comes
in freezing water
and drifting time, Fly Lovers with [the] Birds
For Silent Cwetŷl,
He knows what is hidden.
