“A athair dhíl is minic thú ¶ Ag caint ar Eirinn thall”
Written June 1919A Athair dhíl is minic thú
Aig caint ar Eirinn thall
A gleanntain glas agus sleibhte deas
Cuid coillte caor is call
Se deir tu liom gur tírin e
Mbead ann a banroigan beo.
Ach go de an fath ar thréigis í
's nadh bpillean tu go deo.O! a mhic a run is mor mo ghrádh
Don tír ar a labhairin tú
Mo Éire aoibhin fhearamhail fhial
Fuair anoir agus clú
Acht nios a mhic bí thusa glic
Tabhair eisteacht do mo sgeal
'S ní dearfaidh tú anois na ríst
Gur threig me Eireann dhil
Nuair a smuaitim ar an la sin sior
Tig sgannradh ar mo chroidhe
An sneachta plúchadh 'nuais go dlúith
Is bearradh fuar ar ghaoith
Bhí tusa a mhic 'san clíabhan bheag
Do naoinean lag gan bhrígh/ Nuair ce thárlaigh aig mo dhoras, Acht fir a's [bóiligh?] 'n ríogh
