    Bionn sí thíar bíonn sí thoir
    Bionn sí inGaírdín B.L. Át Cliath
    Is mó é a greim ná greim chapaill
    'Sní bhlaiseann sí aon bhiadh
    "Speal"

    Rud agat ná cheannóchadh aoinne
    Dá gcaillfeá é, bheitheá id' phléídhche
    Cad é an rud é?
    "Do thuigsint"

    Duine meáth donn
    Is a thig ar a dhrom
    Cé h-é féinig?
    "Seilmide"

    Leabhar nó páípéar
