    Do bhíogas im chroidhe isthíg le grádh dhí,
    Dá dlaoithe thúghas lán t-sear ró mhór,
    Dá píp is dhá caoinreas dhá gcáire,
    Is dá míonn leachain áulainn gan ghruam.
    Dá dlaoithe bhí buidhe castha fáineach,
    Is dhá dá chínn cruinne bláthmhar ró chruaidh
    Is dár shíor fhaid í an oidhche níor chás liom.
    Chún síor amarc ailne ar a gcruadh.

    An tú Clíonna an tú Aoibhe nú Ainne,
    Nú an Ríogh bhean thar bhárr scraig í dtuaidh,
    Nú an dígh bhean a thúg. Maois leis thar saile,
    Nú an chaoin charraig a rug bárr léi ós gach buadh
    Nú an dígh bhean a dluig ínntin ró chraidthe
    Nú an dígh leath mó cháirde seo ar bhuairt.
    Nú an caoí leath a ínnsint í dtráth domh,
    Cé'n tír as a dtáinís anuas.

    Do chlanna Gaoilthe don dín scot a bhfeárr mé
    Cé gur díbhreach mó cháirde í bhfádh uaim.
    Is gur suidheas í mboll íogair í ránna,
    Agus taoibh liom go dtáinig sí suas,
    Chún sceigle do thúbairt do bíoghaibh na blárnan
    Tá na mín bhrochaibh áitrí buan.
    Nú an Stiobárd do bhí seal go fáineach,
    Cur na rí ceart ar árdaibh go mór.
