Matthew 26:  69-75     Jesus is denied by Peter

A little later, the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “You are certainly one of them too. Why, your accent gives you away.”  Then he started cursing and swearing, “I do not know the man.”  And at once the cock crowed, and Peter remembered what Jesus had said, “Before the cock crows you will have disowned me three times.”  And he went outside and wept bitterly.

What we fear 
stalks us
like a fox that kills
what it cannot eat.
The crowing of the cock
Carries truth in its beak
Even if it calls
An end to singing.

Ni a berth own an pyth
A’gan skolksyw
Kepar ha lowarn hag a ladh
An pyth na yll devorya
Kenys an kulyek a berth
Yn y elvin an gwiryonedh
Kyn halwo
Gorfenn an kenys
