Subject: "Crucifixion," from Samuel Barber's Hermit Songs
Concluding the submission begun in the post for 23 December 2015.

This is the original Middle Irish for:

Ah, though sore the suffering
Put upon the body of Mary's Son,
Sorer to Him was the grief
That was upon her for His sake.

Ach cer thinn a fulachtadh
Tucad er chnes Meic Mhuire
Tinne leis a dubhachus
Do bhi uirruidh-si uime
