    (continued from previous page)
    Ni chloisfidh mé feasta a stáir scéal
    Ni fheicfidh mé taithneamh a shnuadh
    Dé dhith orm seod óir a scéalta
    Is a eolas ar cursaí an t-saoghal
    A scéal id dtaobh Finn agus Gráinne
    Is stáríuocht ársamhail na nGael.
    III

    Im aonair gan stáraidhe thar céadta
    Im dheoraidhe gan chara mo chroidhe
    A Chómhradh go géar orm a teastáil
    Is a cháidreamh grádhmhar is fial:
    Ach san oidhche nuair luighim moi-fhoidheach
    'San leabaidh nach dtugann dom suain
    Seadh! Deanfadh cómhradh le mo charaid
    'Tá go suaimhneach i gcríoch Rí na nDúil
