    grádh mó chroidhe bean an fhir ruaidh.
    IV
    Tá crann ins an gharraidh a bhfásann air an bláth buidhe;
    Nuair a leagaim mó laimh air is láidir nach sgoilteann mó chroidhe.
    Ní iarrfainn aon spás ar an Árd Rí atá i Bhflaitheas na Naomh;
    Ach aon amharc amháin d’fhagháil ar ghrádh geal mó chroidhe.
    V
    Rachaidh mé suas seal míosa nó coicís ár cuairt;
    Ní phillfidh mé arais go sínfear mó chaol chorp ‘s an uaigh.
    Dóchtuirí ‘n domháin ní leageasfadh siad mise ar an uaigh
    Ach aon phóg amháin a fhagháil ó bhean an fhir ruaidh.
    VI
    Da gcuirfidh mé síos i bpríosuínm dhubh dhorcha chruaidh.
    Bpolltaibh bhéith ar mo caol chorp agus na mílte glais ó sin suas
    D’éireachainn o’n rucladh sin mar D’éireachthadh an eala de’n chuan;
    A eacht síneadh síos seal oidhche le bean an fhir ruaidh.
