Lowku for 2025 [No. 1]

With corrections.

Is é an sruthan éadomhain a labhraíonn go dána,

his glass, now empty’s loudly ringing,

from shallow source, his water’s springing,

with fewer lines, his song would be finer.

The Lowku is a form of poetry devised by Brendan of Clonfert, otherwise known as Brendan the Navigator (AD 484- c. 577), who travelled extensively throughout Japan.
