    Aréir is mé ag machnamh ar maidin an leasa
    Cé cídhfinn cugham ag tarraingt ach an t-sidhe bruineall óg
    A raibh a brat chumha léí go talamh a cuacha gan casadh
    A geuga, bhí ar leathad sí ag síor-shile deor.
    D'fiosfluigheas féin de'n ainnir cér díobh í nó a h-ainm
    An tú sidhe-bhean na Craige Raontairt nó Mór
    Nó Anna Caomh Nic Gearailt godh gur do lugha dár gcaoradh
    Ag teacht ag éileamh an mharcaigh go Buidhe Cnoc na Síóg.

    Siud taobh liom an ainnir a raibh a scéim chruth mar eala
    An reiltionn gan ghangaid dobáilne ar bith snódh
    A shéim - fir a labhair ag gear gol 'sa ceasnghail
    Réidhfe me do gheasa ach suidfimíd go fóill
    Is mé Anna Caomh Nic Ghearailt ó Dun Aolta na Seabhac
    Mar a bhfuil trean-fuil ag caismirt go dianmhar im dheoidh
    Táim céasda le fada ó bheith ag éileamh bhúr mairbh
    Is gurb é Pilib séimh ó Fathais fáth mo dhubróin.

    Mo bhrón is mo thuirse an séimh fear gan fuinneamh
    A bheith daor-snuidte i dtinneas is neamh faolteach i mbrón
    Nó an féidir go gcuirfeadh an séchle ort an cluiche
    Glaodh feasta ar Muire is ar Mhaighdin na h-Óige
    Beidh do céile is do leinbh ag géar gol go cinnail
    Ie éileamh a Pilib atá suite gan treoir
