  1. Mícheal Chormaic do Cheap

    “Maidin mhoc ar thaisteal dom le h-ais na coille cnóthach.”

    Maidin mhoc ar thaisteal dhom
    Le h-ais na coille cnóthach,
    Mar ritheann sruth o'n inbhear
    N-a caise chriostail chlódh-ghlain,
    'Seadh dhearcas bruinneal ghasta ghanta
    Cneasta mhiochair mhódhmhair,
    Gur binne a ghuth gan dearmhad
    'Ná casadh puirt d'reír nóta
    Ba leabhar luadhtha daithte fighte
    Fada tuigh é a h-ór - fholt,
    A bhara-san go deas ag filleadh
    T'réis teacht go troig n-a rónaibh
    Ba ghlas a ruise is a mbraoithe snuidhte
    Mar an luibh na fheóchann,
    An deád ba mhiona phlúraidhe dheise
    N-a béal ná canfadh[?] móide;
    A píob, dar liom mar ghéis ar muir,
    'S chúm fearg singil seólta,
    Is dearg luisne ag chur dath ortha
    Na h-atha ghlain mar dhólainn.
