    VI
    Chuarduigheas-sa mór-chuid do’n bhruinneall
    Ba dheise is ba chlúmhail cáil
    Ón Ruachtaigh go bruach geal na Sionainn
    Is timcheall Loch Léín na mbád
    Dom chuardaibh cé gur mór iad mo thurasa
    Níor cheapas go raibh aon bhean bhreágh
    Ach an stuaire úd a bhuail suas 'am choinnibh
    Gur b’ainm dí an G. Geal Bán
    VII
    Tá mo bhróga ina stroiceacha briste
    Is gan pingin dá bhfiacha im láimh
    Mo chomhraid breágh bó gan bheith dortha
    Is mo leanbh gan éadach slán.
    Cá bhfios ná go mbfhearra duit mise
    As gan pingin ach lúth mo chnámha
    Ná an cábach is an mór-stoc ar chnocaibh
    Is nár bh’fhios ná gur bé a gcrích a mbádhadh.
    VIII
    Tá inse deas aerach agam-sa
    Is fásann an fear um Shamhain.
    Is éanlaith an aeir nuair a thagaid
    Ag faghailt foithin faoi ghéagaibh crann
    Mar mheasaid bíonn féar ann agus fearann
    Is doireann gach bliain an ghamhain
