    Caoineadh an Deoraidhe

    (I)
    Tá gleann beag ró aoibhinn in Éirinn
    Agus baile beag síos ins an ngleann
    Tá garrdha beag bídeach cois coilleadh
    Agus cró beag ag foscadh faoí chrann
    Agus bhfearr liom ná cúmhacht na cruinne
    Bheadh seóladh thar sáile anonn
    Acht briseann mo chroidhe bocht lé cumha
    Nach dtig liom níos mó a dhul ann
    Acht briseann mo chroidhe bocht le cumha
    Nach dtig liom mó a dhul ann

    (II)
    Tá árdán in aice na coilleadh
    Agus tobar breágh fíor-uisce faoí
    Tá sruthán beag soillseach ag síneadh
    Faoí bhruach na samhaircín buidhe
