    Ní fuil a's ní feoil a's ní cnámh é,

    Giolla beag maol 'na luighe ag an tobar
    Tá a cheann cruaidh maol comh maol leis an obair
    Ní dhéanann sé tada is cuma cé'n obair
    Nó go gcuirtear a cheann i bhfad síos ins an tobar.

    A's níl sé ar mhullach an tighe.
    (Fuinneog)
    Broc liath a's a aghaidh siar
