    óg dheas
    Fúair sgoil is foglum i dtús mo shaoghail
    Is dhá maireadh matair dhom go h-aois mo phósta
    Bhéidhinn i rith i gcóiste lé stór mo chroidhe.

    Bhí sé in admiral ar luingh Rí-seorsa
    Is ba mhaith an cuntóir é amuigh léí
    Trí bliadhna sa taca seó seadh síneadh i gcónra é
    Sé liath go mór mé is ní lé aois.

    (IX)
    Bhí coluith orm do thogadh an tsíoda
    Is haitín cíor-dhubh ar dhath na sméar
    Bhí buclaí airgid in mo bhrógaí gíosgadh
    Is nár dheas an fhírinne lé mealadh mé

    (X)
    Sgríobhainn leitir is léighinn bíobla
    An tráth a ndeachaidh an draoideacht orm ba maith mo ghléas
    Ach cén mhaith sin dhom is mo cháíl faoin, ríoghachta
    Gur sean-bhean chríon-liath mé a chaill mo scéímh.
