    1.
    Mo shlán chun Cara na séimh-fhear
    Mar a chaitheas trí thréim dom' shaoghail
    Gan gádh, gan easpamh sa t-saoghal
    Ach a'magadh 's a'scléip do bhínn.
    Ag éisteacht le h-Aifreann Dé dhom
    Is a'teagasc thar bhréithribh Chríst
    Is gan fán ar ár sagart le naomhthacht
    Fad a mairim faoí réim sa tír.

    Is dá gcasfaí bacach ón dtír orm
    Nó senduine críona trom
    Máistear scoile nó rínnce
    Nó siollaire do sheinnfeadh ceól
    ...............

    Is do gheóbhfaí an cuileann a'fás ann
    An pluma breágh árd is a'ubhal
    An fhuinnseóg fhada 's a cáig ann
    'Gus a'buinne breágh áluinn úr.
    Do gheóbhfaí adhmad loingeas is bád ann
    Ag imeacht de bharr na dtonn
