   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   I
   It was early one summer morning when young Willie arose,
   And up to his comrades' bedchamber he goes,
   Saying "It's a fine morning and to bathing we'll take",
   They all marched along till they came to a lake.
   II
   The first man they met was a keeper of game,
   He advised them in sorrow to return again.
   ...
   For his hope was to float on a watery stream.
   III
   Young Willie stripped off and he swam the lake round
   He swam to an island and finding no ground,
   Cried "Comrades dear comrades, I feel very weak,"
   And these were the last words young Willie did speak.
   IV
   It was early next morning his sister arose,
   And up to her mother's bedchamber she goes,
   Saying "Mother, dear mother, I had a sad dream,
   That young Willie was floating in a watery stream".
   V
   It was early next morning his mother came there,
   Wringing her hands and tearing her hair,
   Saying "Murder, cruel murder, is there anyone nigh,
   That would venture his life for the last of my darling boy.
