Brigid of the mantles, Brigid of the hearth flame,
Brigid of the twining hair, Brigid of the augury,
Brigid of the white feet, Brigid of calmness,
Brigid of the white milk, Brigid of the crossroads.

I am under the keeping of my Mother Mary.
My companion beloved is Brigid.
I shall not be slain,
I shall not be sworded,
I shall not be put in a cell,
I shall not be hewn,
I shall not be anguished,
I shall not be wounded, I shall not be blinded,
I shall not be left bare,
Nor will Mary leave me forgotten.

I am under the shielding of good Brigid each day.
I am under the shielding of good Brigid each night.
I am under the keeping of the Midwife of Mary
Each early and late, every dark, every light.
Brigid is my protector, Brigid is my maker of song.
Brigid is my sword and shield, Brigid is my guide.
