Día dhuit arís, a Ghearóid
Your lass seems to be writing in a mixture of Irish and Scots Gaelic. My Scots Gaelic is very rusty but I will try and do the best I can!

Its over to America that we are??going??
Dont ever go into the darkness of the woods
At the harvesting of the dulse(seaweed)and the frothing of the waves
There will be nuts and apples and the ???sugar?? will be growing

I'm sure that I have missed out on some of the finer points of meaning.
Is mise Brian
