    An Drúcht Geal Ceo
    Ag gabhail síos an ghleann dam faoi chois na grann.
    Go dtí’n chathair aoibhinn shuairc
    Bhí na slóighte teann leis na mílte lann
    Ag teacht aníos gan ghruaimh
    Ní rabh crónán caoin as bealaibh píob
    No dromaí ag tógailt gleo
    Ach an chlog go glinn ag cuir fáilte bhinn
    Roimhe’n Aingeal ins an drúcht gheal ceo
    II
    Chroch siad in áirde a mbrát go hárd
    Os cionn caisleán Baile-Atha-Cliath
    Níor nídh leo bas fhághail ag Saddle Bar
    Agus Éire indiaidh i bpian
    As lár na Midhe sé ghluais an sgaoth
    De na laochraidhe liomtha beo
    Agus slóighte gall ag bailliughadh anall
    A gcuid gunnaí ins an drúcht geal Ceo
    III
    Chuaidh an ghrian i luighe agus thuit an oidhche
    Acht níor ísligh an chomhrac teann
    Bhí na teinnte doghadh ag na gaedhil go fóill
    As ag deallradh ar thaobh na lann
    Bhí gach duine guidhe (guidhe) nach mealladh a chroidhe
    As an teangbhail tréan go deo
    Act le banughadh an lae bhí a mbrát gan bheám
    Ag cratadh ins an drúcht gheal Ceo
