{{for|the Gaelic footballer|Seamus O'Neill (Gaelic footballer)}}{{no footnotes|date=March 2013}}Séamus Ó Néill, (1910–1981), was an Irish writer from Clarkhill, Castlewellan, County Down, Ireland. Following a primary degree from Queen's University, Belfast, he did historical research under Eoin MacNeill at University College, Dublin. He spent periods as editor of the journals An Iris and Comhar. The endpiece from Dánta do pháistí (Poems for Children), entitled "Subh Mhilis" ("Sweet Jam"), a poem dedicated to his mother (subtitle: "Ceann do Mhama"), is one of his best-known works: OriginalBhí subh mhilis Ar bhaschrann an dorais Ach mhuch mé an corraí Ionam a d'éirigh, Mar smaoinigh mé ar an lá Nuair a bheas an bhaschrann glan, Agus an lámh bheag Ar iarraidh. | TranslationThere was jam On the doorhandle But I suppressed the anger That arose in me, Because I thought of the day when the doorhandle would be clean And the little hand Gone. |
