    Se plúr na laoch a thuit faraor i mbriseadh cruaidh na Caisg
    ‘S d’fhág siad sinn go cráidhte tinn
    Ag eagcaoin fá na mbás
    Bhí súile’n t-saoghail ag breatnughadh an gníomh
    Rinne clann na nGaedheal san gleo.
    No léon a gheag fá sholus ghle ghil
    Fá shaoirshe ins an drúcht geal Ceo
    V
    Ar shiubhal mar chadhain mó chreach ‘s mó léan
    Tá na ceadtaí curtha cruaidh
    Tá a gcnámha sinté ag Sola’n tSín
    No fa chosta na mara ó thuaidh
    Dá bfuigheadh siad bas sa bhaile ar lár
    Le Piaras tá indiú sa ghlór
    Bhéadh a n-Uaigh faoi’n tsliabh imeasg na bhFian
    Mar a scaipeann an drúcht geal Ceo.

    Chuaidh me síos an ghleann arís
    ‘Gus mó chroidhe bocht lan de bhrón
    Is me sgárta coidhche ó plúr na laoch
    Nac bhfeicinn arís níos mo
    I lár na h-oidhche bím se guidhe
    Le mó chomhnaidhe a bhéith sa ghlór
    No ruaigh sibh an tráill a fheara fáil
    Nuair a thuit sibh ins an drúcht geal Ceo
