    (continued from previous page)
    Thug grádh croidhe dod' gheal píp in uaigneas,
    Is do bheartuigheas go luath ort mar mhnaoi,
    Marcuigheacht ar m'each buidhe seadh a fuair sí,
    Cómh fada síos le Cluain Meala an Ghrinn.
    D'eirígheas im sheasamh do'n stiúir sin
    Is do chuadhas san iallait deas donn,
    Is in aimhdheóin a maireann dá gaolta
    Do raghainn-se do léim ar a drom.
    Mar ba mhinic me i gcogadh na bpiléar léi,
    Is me stropálta im' léine i mbun cúil,
    In arm rí Shasana ní ghéillfhinn,
    Go sínfear go daor mé san úir.
    Do shiubhluigheas cúig cúigí na h-Éireann
    Is talamh an éisc ar dtúis,
    As san go Sasana an Bhearla,
    A's gach Oileán d'á mb'fhéidir liom a siúbhal.
    Mo chuid fola 'á dortadh 'na braonaibh,
    Is fortún an tsaoghail ós mo chionn;
    Ach anois ó táim gabhtha ní féidir
    Go leigfí me a dhaoradh gan chúis.
    Tá scéal deas ag gabhail leis seo, agus beidh sé ins an gcéad leabhar eile - an chéad scéal ann.
