Goddess. Squint their eyes and lough...
✕
Translation
The Untameable Tribe
The children of Danu-the-goddess don't sleep in their golden cradles,
They squint their eyes and laugh, they don't close them,
For the Northern Wind will take them away at the moment
When a vulture flies down into the gorge from the rocky heights.
I kiss the child of mine, that clings to me crying,
And I hear the cajolingly quiet call from the narrow graves,
The cry of the homeless wind over the rollings of ramparts,
The shivering of the homeless wind in the fire of sunset.
The knocking of the homeless wind on heaven's doors
And hell's doors; and screeching and howling of the persecuted spirits...
Oh, heart that was pierced by the wind, those untameable horde
Is closer to you than Holy Madonna and the lamps flicker of hers.

BTW, it would be better to use 'homeless wind' without 'the'. :)
ramparts->rollers (I think, waves are meant here instead of fortress walls)
those untameable horde->'those' requires plural after it, so you should revise that. Maybe 'those untameable hordes' or 'the untameable horde of them' ?
the lamps flicker of hers->the flicker of her lamps.

Steep(shear) peaks -rocky heights.
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
