  1. Maidean Aoibhinn Aerach

    Share Share Post
    Maidean aoibhinn aerach, ar uair na maidhne im' aonar,
    Cois bínn-sín glas na gcaora is bá neamhrach a snógh;
    Cois abhainnte b'fheárr le tréimhse, bhíodh báid is coite maol ann,
    Bhíodh flúirse do gach éisc ann is an ealla gheal ar snámh.
    Ar m'eirghe suas trém' néal dom, do dhearcas ainnir taobh liom,
    Do smaoinigheas nár bh'aon bhean saolta í, is gur baoghal dom im treó.
    An tú an Mhaighdean mhúinte bhéasach, nó Clíodhna o'n gCarraigh léith san,
    ? D'fág Dia na luighe seal éacht lag, d'fág Éire go deo.
    (Táim amhrasach faoi an gceathramha so)
    Is ciúin deas banamhail béasach do labhair an bhuime liom féinig,
    Ní h-aoinne beó do'n méid sin d'ár léighis ortha fós,
    Ach cúilfhionn dúbhach ar straé seal thar lear i bhfad óm' ghaoltaibh
