    “Ist oidhche de hAoine ar mo luighe dhom ar leabaidh”

    Share Share Post
    Ist oidhche de hAoine ar mo luighe dhom ar leabaidh
    Cad a bhrathfainn im thímcheall ach Light Horse an airm
    Do phreabas im shuidhe suas is d'eirigheas a'm sheasamh
    Ritheas naoi míle gan bríste gan hata.
    A dhaoine uaisle na nárann tugaidh spás dom ar mh'anam
    Tugaidh peann dom an láimh dheis agus paipéar le breacadh
    Go scríobhfad cúpla líne no trí chun mo athar
    Go bhfuil a mhac criona le díothú san arm.
    Blian as an lá amáireach iseadh d'fhágas an baile
    Nior stadas de'n stáir sin go ndeaghas go Cluain Mealla,
    Do lean Brighid agus Máire me á rádh liom filleadh abhaile,
    Se mo chathú dubhachsa gear brónach nách é a gcómhairle a ghlacas
    Is buachaill fior óg me do tógadh faoi cheannas
    Ag an mnaoi úd do tál orm is thug a cúm dom mar leabaidh
    Thug sgrí dom as leigheann dom as ceárd breagh chun martha
    Ní sásóchaidís goléir mé gan liostáil san airm.
    Do bhí fhios ag an Rioghan Glórmhar agus ag na cómharsain am aice
    Go rabhasa cómh stuama le haon bhuachaill sa bhaile
    Do rinncfinn is do gháirfinn is do shnámhfainn seal caise
    Is bhuailfinn poc báire cómh hárd leis an ngealaig.
