    (I)
    Lá cois cuain is me treith-lag buaidheartha m'intinn
    Mé feachaint uaim ar an spéir ó thuaidh
    Is gearr go bfacaidh mé 'n loug s' í gabhail leis an t-srúth thart timnicheal (?)
    Bhí rása seóil ar bárr a crann 's an ainnir shúgach inntí

    Faraor gear! S' mé ceann gan chéill
    Ní thearn mé cómhairle mo mhuinntire
    'S gurabé dubhairt siad liom
    De cómhrádh cinnte
    'Seachan beal an aimhlis
    Racaidh mé fein go Conndae'n Duín

    'S a mealladh mná ma théid tú go bráth
    No do theannadh le do chroidh istoigh
    Bhí deánamh beárraí agus dantaí Gaedhilge
    'S lá no dó na dhiaidh sin sgaoilte
    Cuir do lámh fa na geag 'sar a spád glan réidh.
    Sní phillfidh mé rís go ngoiridh 'n chuach
