   Nó a' seinm na sailm le ghuth -cheol na n-éán

   Nó ag ornadh an Soisgéil le n-a mhaighistir saímh fhéin

   Patrún lucht foghuimghthe as carta dílis na mbárd

   Le laethibh neamh - lochtrach as le guth mhilis árd.

   
   Phleídheal sé as bhuaidh sé i bpardún ó'n Righ

   Gidh gur chorm domhain i gcurtha in-Éadan an Dlighe

   Fath ar thugthar do a dhíbirt thar an tSáile anonn

   In a currach beag suarach 'tá ar lucht bhán na dtonn

   'Ait ar chomhnuidhe sé gur éag sé ar oileán fhann mhaol

   'bhfad ó Éirinn a searc-ghradh as a cháirde síor gaol

   Ní labhairim ar sgeal atá go laetheamhal imbéal

   Ag stairidhe, ag ughdair, ag tuataí as ag cléir

   Ná ar chaonach Chúl Dreimire báidthe le fuil
