英语诗歌:At Tara today in this fateful hour
英语课
At Tara today in this fateful hour
I place all heaven with its power,
and the sun with its brightness,
and the snow with its whiteness,
and fire with all the strength it hath,
and lightning with its rapid wrath 1,
and the winds with their swiftness along their path,
and the sea with its deepness,
and the rocks with their steepness
and the earth with its starkness 2:
all these I place,
by God's almighty 3 help and grace,
between myself and the powers of darkness.
fateful: with serious, often disastrous, consequences
wrath: great anger
Rune of St Patrick
