    Bhí mé i dteach lá Samhna
    Agus d'ith mé mo chuid de ghamhain,
    A's bhí gamhain ag an ngamhain sin
    Bliain ón tSamhain sin.
    (D'ith mé mo chuid anuas de dhruim an ghamhna)
    Cailleach mhór agus crios thart uirri.
    (Beart coirce)
    Ceist a chuir tuata ar shagart
    Agus b'éigin don easbog a réidhteach,
    Dríothair a bhí ag dríothair m'athar,
    A's níorbh uncal domh-sa an té sin.
    (Badh é a athair féin é.)
    Téigheamuis faoi'n gciumhais
    Agus déanamuis mar is cleachtach linn,
    Cuireamuis an dá fhionnadh 'n a chéile
    Agus an dá bhall cruinn eatorra.
    (Do chuid 'súile'.)
