Is acher in gaíth in-nocht...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is acher in gaíth in-nocht... is an anonymous ninth-century poem in Old Irish.
The poem exists uniquely as a marginal entry in the Stiftsbibliothek MS 904 at St. Gallen in Switzerland, which is a copy of Priscian's Institutiones grammaticae, heavily glossed in Old Irish. It was most likely written in Ireland in the (mid-?) 800s, when Viking attacks on Irish monasteries, schools and churches were a regular occurrence.
Irish singer and academic Pádraigín Ní Uallacháin arranged and recorded the poem in Copenhagen after visiting St. Gallen. It appears on her Songs of the Scribe studio album.
