    Tá botháinín 'sa gháirdín
    Go rachadh na céadta ann.
    Ní bhfhaghainn-se slighe ann
    Ná leath mo chuid éadaigh
    (Cruiceóg beach).
    Is cruinne é ná do cheann
    Is sia é ná mílte crann.
    (Ceirtlín snáithe).
    Chím 'na suidhe is in a seasamh í
    Chím ar bhláth na h-aitinne í.
    Ceó ná drúcht ní leagann í.
    Is ní stadann sí de shiubhal.
    (An ghealach)
    Sean-duine beag dubh agus a theach ar a ghualann aige.
    (Seilmide).
