I WILL build the hearth, As Mary would build it. The encompassment of Bride and of Mary, Guarding the hearth, guarding the floor, Guarding the household all. Who are they on the lawn without? Michael the sun-radiant of my trust. Who are they on the middle of the floor? John and Peter and Paul. Who are they by the front of my bed? Sun-bright Mary and her Son. The mouth of God ordained. The angel of God proclaimed, An angel white in charge of the hearth Till white day shall come to the embers. An angel white in charge of the hearth Till white day shall come to the embers. # Source - Carmeana Gaedelica, vol 1, page 239
