    Agus ní dhearn tú deirce ar an té bhí fiann,[?]
    Beidh na h-aingle ar amharc dé uisge,
    Is iad go clíste anonn sa'nall,
    Níl a n'anam bocht le saor á pheacaidh,
    Nár rachaidh ar éiteogaí[?] go cuan na ngeall.
    When going to sleep.
    I lay my body down to sleep
    I pray to God my soul to keep,
    But if I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take.
