Today is

"The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,
The plowman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me."

From Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Grey.

Tha Nàdar De Bhàrdachd Ghàidhlig
an còmhnaidh a' dol aig Acair,
Bho Òrain Red gu Cluaintean Uaine;
a h-uile duine keen air facail.

Ceum air Cheum gu Bàrdachd Fred
gu Oiteagan à Tir nan Òg
Rannan ùra a h-uile bliadhna
seach nach can Acair riamh 'Gu Leòr'!
