- (continued from previous page)Do shnámhfadh ar bharr na donn,
Do ghéóbfaí Aingeal Ciúin séímh ann,
Cúl * bátharlac * phéirleach groidhe
Go ró bhreagh mhaise do'n céád fhear
Dó gcuiridh (?) sé lei mar mhnaoi
Do tóghfadh sí mairg is go léir
Le binneas abéil ba bhinn
Is mo (?) gnó maithe agus treithe
Do bhí im bhruill * na gcraobh mnaoi
Do géóbhfaí an aiteas * is aoibhreas
Madin breá aoibhinn óir
Do geobfaí siolla as bpíb ann
No bairrle dighe le n-ól
N.B. There are possibly a verse or two to be added but took almost a week to get this from a cranky old man - who speaks very quickly. I got it from Dick Walsh (over 70 years) Carriganan.He says the poem was composed by Jerry O Sullivan who lived at Kealkil.* denotes doubtful words - I give the sounds as I heard them.
