    Maidean aoibhinn áluinn is mise i lár an t-Samhrafh ghil,
    Iseadh chualadh an Inghean is a mháthair ag trácht ar na fir,
    Sé dúbhairt an cuirín mánla, "A Mháthair ná bhí liom",
    Pósadh a chaithfid mé dheanamh nú imteacht do léim thar muir
    II
    Éist a Shice ghránna mar Nílar fós i n-aois
    Níor éistig féin a mháthair núair a bídse suas im aois
    Táim dhá blian déag rátha is bliain beag eile más fíor,
    Acht caithfear fear a d'fághail dom nó raghadh an bás im chroidhe.

    Is a Ingean dá dtabharfainn spré dhuit cá bhfaigfá féining fear,
    Is orm ná beadh an baoghal san an fhaid a mairfead Seán na gcleas,
    Mé ag cú na bó is mé im aonar sead labhair sé liom go pras,
    A Ruinín shearc mo chléibh thú siubhal is téanam leat.
