May the blessings of light be on you--light without and light within
May the blessed sunshine shine on you and warm your heart until it glows like a great peat fire--so that the stranger may come and warm himself, and also a friend
And may the light shine out of the two eyes of you, like a candle set in two windows of a house, bidding the wanderer to come in out of the storm
May the blessings of the rain be on you--the soft, sweet rain
May it fall upon your spirit, so that all the flowers may spring up, and shed their sweetness on the air
And may the blessings of the Great Rains be on you: May they beat upon your spirit and wash it fair and clean and leave there many a shining pool where the blue heavens shines reflected--and sometimes a star
And may the blessings of the Earth be on you--the Great Round Earth
May you ever have a kindly greeting for those you pass as you're going along the roads
May the earth be soft under you when you lie out upon it, tired at the end of the day
And may it rest easily over you, when at last you be out under it. May it rest so lightly over you that your soul may be quickly through it, and up, and off, and on its way to God.
