   Anuas ó bhathas na béithe
   Go talamh go téacht na sruth
   Sé dúbhairt an t-seanbhean aosta
   Go bhfearra dhúinn féinig rith
   Mar beidh na cuanta á bfaire i ngach aon bhall
   San arm 'nar ndiaidh go tiugh
   IV
   Do ghluais an gasra i n-aonfheacht
   As níor bhfios ce'cu ba thréine rith
   Ó thuaidh chun na Carraige Méithe
   As iad ag druidim le faobhar na gcnoc
   Ó thuaidh chun caladh as gach taobh de
   As don Mhangartan Mhéirsgrig
   A's do'n chuan nar ceangladh Céarnach
   le h-ainnir ón nGréig anoir.
   V
   As do ghluaiseas feasta mé féinig
   Cé gur laguig an t-aos mo rith
   Suas do'n sCreathan go Béara
   As a san go taobh Loch Bhoin
   Ó thuaidh chun Carraig na mBraonach
   As ní fhéachainn am dheídh ar bhoin
   Chun gur chuala an beatha bheith saor
   I nDúbh-Ealla as téigidh ann
   VI
   As me ag teacht abhaile dhom féinig
