  1. An Spailpín

    Nuair a rachaim-se síos go cathair
    abhí,
    lem corrán le buaint na n-eórnan
    gurbé deir gach sméiste do caille crón
    cíoramh
    Is a spailpín cá mbíonn tú id chómhnuidhe
    Do labhras-sa léi, gan bladar gan bréag
    leis an gaile bhuidhe, gan eólas
    Cadé sin duit féin, ó thógas mar fréic
    cúgham
    Imtheacht seal do réir mo sláinte
    II
    A spailpín a rúin cár gabhais-se
    chúghainn,
    Gur deinis-se an fóghmhar cómh
    luath so,
    Is dá mbéidhfá-sa féin mar a
    codlas aréir
    Ba gairid ó’d bhéilín póg d’fhágháil,
    A chaillig baoí crón,
    Ní méinn liom do glór,
    Ní ghlacfainn céad bó mar
    spré leat
    Is go mb’fhearra liom póg
    ó cailín deas óg
    a bheadh agam go deó mar bréaga.
