This is my adaptation of the 6th century kyrielle form credited to the mythological Irish poet Amergin.I have accordingly labelled the form with his name.

I am a tear:in tragedy's fear I am the hope:when power cannot cope I bring forth life: from the world's strife I am the peace:that will never cease I am the fire:in love's desire I am the light: in blindness sight I am the grace: in repentance face I am friend: who but I Sees the beginning from the end
