    An Gabhar
    Mil is céir-bheach bhíodh again ar maidin,
    Ó ghuideadh mo ghabhar aréir.
    Is gabhar é atá coidhche liom sgartha,
    Is de bheatha grásta Dé
    Bhí a mháthair go h-áluinn cun bhainne
    ‘Gus a athair gan cháim (?) ins an saoghal
    Is an dream úd a d’ionntuigh tar falla é.
    Ná feicidh siad grásta Dé.
    Do ghaibh sé siúd síos an claidhe fada
    Is ceangailte ar ceannrach caol
    Bhí beirt des na comharsain dhá fhaire.
    Is mór m’amhras nár chuaidh ar stray
    Bhi beirt des na comarsain dá fhaire.
    ‘San slighe siúd a d’imthigh sé
    ‘S a Dhé ghleighil nár b'éachtach an obair.
    Gus d’eulaigh sé thórsta araon.
    Leag sé siúd lámh ar a earra,
    ‘S ar sin siar di na bléin
    A shúile gur d’ionntaigh in a chloigean
    Lé h-anatha (anfa ?) an t-saoghail go léir
