    “Is truaigh nach bhfuil mé's an planta”

    Abhrán Ultach
    Is truaigh nach bhfuil mé's an plannta leinbh
    Taobh shíar d'Inis cúil Arann,
    I m-béal na beinne, le taobh na tuinne,
    Sinn a dréim le longeas [t] ar sáile;
    Ar mhéid ar gcumainn, 's gan aon ruainne tharainn
    Acht geugán duilleabhair d'ar sábháil,
    Gur b'e déárfadh gach duine gur laghach ar n-imeacht
    Mar d'éalauighDiarmuid a's Gráinne.

    Bhí an plannta geanamhail 'san áit a bhfuil mé,
    'S is (binn) buan thug mise spéis dí;
    Grádh go dtug mé do bláth na gile,
    Go bráth nach dtig liom a réidhteach
    Is é fáth mo thuirse nach bhfágham cead fuireacht,
    'San áit a g-cluinfinn a sgéala
    'S go mb'fearr liom tamall de'n lá 'na coinne
    Nach ar fhás de chruithneacht i n-Éirinn.
    'S a Mháire, a bhruinneall; bhí lá a's ní chuirfeá
