St Brigid's Well in Kildare, Ireland
Statue by Annette McCormack
"O Brigid, Mary of the Gael,
May thy protection never fail.
Spread thy mantle over me,
Where’re I pass, where’re I be.
Weather foul or weather fair,
Keep me in your loving care."
(traditional)
The Wayside Well
This older well runs into and feeds the Well of Brigid and is believed to be the first well in Kildare dedicated to Her. The plaque reads: "St. Brigid, Mary of the Gael, pray for us."
