    A chaoicigh mhalluíghthe, ár is easgaine ort agus gráin Mhic Dé

    An té a bheadh na sheasamh agus ag amharc ar an gcúis dhá phleidhe
    Do sheasaimh sí ó na seacht ar maidin go dtí taréis a naoí
    le reacht na ndearbhuighthe do chrith an talamh dhá thúbhairt í mbréig
    Agus mó thruagh sa an tanam mar sé tá damantha mas fíor d'en gcléir.

    Mar a mbfeadh fiabhas ár gcaraibh na bhead ár muinil ag cneagadh is ár gcínn san aér,
    Ach is amlaidh a cheapadh sin a chuir thar fairrge go New South Wales.
