- (continued from previous page)Deirge.
Nach í an deirge a chuaidh ar baile I bhfeirg leis an ghile.
Ag insirt cleasa goile ar ghruaidh nó ghrádha
Agus gach aon neach ó Ghlinne.
In intleacht na cruinne,
Ghéobhadh amach cé acu a bhuaidhfidhe nó a bhfheárr.

Dá mbeirfinn ar mo lil, an uair sin go cliste
Ruadh glas go gcuirfinn fhéin ar a bás
Agus ni luaithe liom mó lil.
Ná mo rún searc agus í a pilleadh.
Agus dar liom gurbh í an deirg
A bhuaidh agus a b’fhearr.

Tá a píob mar an lil ar fhíor-spinc a brollaigh
Tá rósaí ar a leacaibh, seímhe [sáins]?
Tá gáir léithe le maise.
Bheirfeadh ean as craoibh an tsneachta
Is aoibhinn í na searc í.
Agus is ró-dheas í i mbláth.(continues on next page)- Collector
