    An Sprid
    I
    Ar maidin indhé is mé ar séirse ag taisteal anonn
    Scadh do dhearcas féin an spéir bhean gheanamhail Fhionn
    Ba thanaidhe é a béal, is do b'eudtrom pras é a súibhal
    'S a culaith fhada ghléigeal néata a scaipfeadh an drúcht
    II
    Mara mbeadh go raibh na coillig a glaodhach mo léan do [?] mo neart
    Ar eagla an scéil gur bhaoghal dom í bheith lem' ais.
    Do tháinig allus 'na shlaodaibh ar m'éadon i n-iomarc ar fad
    Mar do cheapas nárbh éinne beó saoghalta an Bhruinneal i gceart.

    Nuair a chonnac-sa 'na saoighid í, san aoirde chumaisg tar bárr
    Ba ghile í ná an fhaoilean, 'sa píb mar an eala 's í ar snámh
    Do tháinig faitchíos mo chroidhe orm roimpe on scíthire mná
    'S gan arm ná Claidheamh um' thimcheall, ná guna im' láimh
