    Siad na prátaí dubha do chuir ár gcómharsain do scaipeadh uainn
    Do chuir ins an " poor-house " iad is anonn thar fairrge
    I Reilg an t-Sléibhe atá na ceadta acu treascartha
    'S uaisle na bhflaiteas, go ndeaghaidh (-ngabhathaidh) a bpáirt

    Ní hé Dia do cheap riamh an obair seó
    Daoine bochta do chur le fuacht is le fán
    Íad do cur san " poor-house " go dúbhach is glas orra.
    Lanamhnacha pósta scartha go bás! "

    Bíodhí ag obair ó neóin go maidne
    Is ar theacht an tráthnóna ag cur cúirníní alluis diobh
    Níl aon mhaith in bhúr ndícheall, Muna bhfuil an chíos agaibh freagarthach
    Teidhí a bhaile is beidh bghúr dtig ar lár

    A Dhia na gloire fóir agus freagair sinn
    Scáoil á nglasa agus réidhthig ár gcás
    'S an beatha so arís ód' chroidhe go gcasair chúghainn
    'Sé an "poor-house" go leagair anuas ar lár!
