    “Chuaidh me seal tamaill ar cuairt”

    I
    Chuaidh mé seal tamaill ar cuairt.
    Go mbreathnuighinn uainn an spéir.
    Thart fá na h-oileáin ag ruaig
    Mar eilit as cú in a dhiaidh.
    Sé dearfadh gach duine fá'n chuan
    Nuair a thainig mé anuas fá'n chuan
    Nuair a thainig mé anuas fá'n chéidh.
    Aithnighim go maith ar do ghruaim.
    Gur fear thú bhfuil tóir do dhiaidh.
    II
    Casadh domh'n ainnir bheag óg
    As ma casadh, sí la bhair go géar
    Mas tuine thú bhaineas le mnaoi óig,
    Ní mholaim go mór do sgéal.
    Chonnaic mé fear as Tír Mór
    Ag imtheacht gan bhróig indé.
    Se deir siad gur thusa an
    fear óg
    A bhfuil siad sa tóir ina dhiaidh.
