Amhrán Eile (continued)
“Ive been in my youth, and I courted a lovely dame”
(continued from previous page)Ré ór na bfámairi acú i dtoighthe tír,
Bíonn síad fhéin agus a bpaistí ag gol is ag gairidhe
Ó ca bfuighfidh muid arús ag teacth na hoidhche.
(III)Bíonn na bá ag geímnigh tré ló gach eanlaith
Agus ag dul i ngeibeann go crúáidh fán cíos.
Bíonn na caoirigh ag méidhligh fa bharr na sléibhe
O ghoid síad ona ceile íad ar an Samhradh daor.

Gó dtigidh marcach Gaedhaelach ar fud na -Éireann
A claothas beárla agus a leagas cíos.- You heavenly muse, I pray excuse a bards intrusion to let you hear.Inspire my brain to write a theme, a feeble mind for to revere.Glengevlin's vale, my hearts appeal its to record your dignity.Recall your name, extend your fame and set your suffering country free.
IIYour sons so rare I do declare and they are handsome as you see.Your daughters pure I do assure, for virtue, faith and chastity.Go search this isle and oer and oer and all around Brittania fair.But you'll find no place where saints can rest, like sweet Glengevlin's Valley Fair.
IIIThere is fertile union for to be found and the warm grasp of friendship's hand(continues on next page)- Collector
