- (continued from previous page)málaidh caol deas donn,
'S a dhá shúil glas chómh áirne,
Tréighfinn bean a's chlann, a stóir, dá ngluaistheá liom,
Go h-Iorrus nó go h-Umhall Uí Mháille
Labhair sí liom go tláit, 'sé dubhairt sí
"A mhíle grádh
"Bhíodh foighid agad go dtagaidh an oidche
'S éalóchadh leat gan spás go h-íoctar Condae 'n Cláir
A's ní fhillse mé ar mo mháthair coidhche,
Dá mbeinn-se ar Sliabh Cairn nó ar mullach an Leasa Áird,
An Áit ar chait mé céad lá sínte
Is cinnte a chúilfhionn bhán go n-ólfadh muid á sháit
Í gCoillte Mághac gach aon lá aonaigh."
