    (continued from previous page)
    An tí chuir sa tslighe sin me,
    Go dtagaidh sgeimhle de muir nó taoide.
    'Bhainfidh a' tuighe dá thigh.
    Ní bheidh sé i dtaoibh leis sin.
    Má ghabhann sé im líontaile-se,
    Déanfad-sa aor do, cumasach cóir,
    A bhainfidh a' droinn da smuilc
    Má ghabhann sé an tslighe go bráth.
    Tóirneach nimhe bheith ann agus ár,
    Fanfaidh cois claidhe gan fosgadh gan díon.
    Mar chúiteamh sa ghníomh a dhein
    Sí Sighle an chailleach ghruamdha,
    Ní ghuidhim ar maidin go rí na bhFeart
    Í bheith fada buan na dteach
    Acht í go tapaidh uainn d'imtheacht.
    Si Sighle an chailleach coimthigheach mná.
    Ní ólfainn píop na páirt.
    Ní thógfainn snaois im láimh.
    Dá mbeadh sí sínte ar thaoibh tighe.-
    Ag aicíd chlaoidhte an bháis.
    The End.
