    A dhriotháir, ó mo mhíle dith thú
    Is mé rinn' an aisling a chealg an chroí 'gam
    An oíche roimh sollamhuin áirdeirc Íosa
    Go bhfaca leoghan don chroí-fhuil dob' aoirde
    Ag dul dhá phósadh i róbaidhibh síoda
    I mbratacha bána sa mbábhar chíor-dubh
    'Sa dhá leor de dhaoine óga 'na timpeall.
    Rí na nGrás is gárda naoimh ort
    'S gur i nDún na mBád ar lár a bhí thú
    Do ghluaiseas cé bhuartha mo smaointe
    Go h-uaigneach gan sluaití dem' mhuintir
    Teacht faoi tuairim ón dtuath is caoineadh
    Mar bhain 'fán fairrge is mearbhal slí dóibh
    Mar is marbh faoi locaibh a bhíodar.
    An t-am do ráinig Máire thíos tú
    Ní raibh aon de príomh-chirt taoibh leath
    Ach Brighid is Liam gan chiall gan chuimhne
    Di shuías in aice is ní fheadar cad déarfainn
    Mar do mharbh ar mhearbhal m'éirim
    Ach amháin gur smaoineas dá maoidhfhinn an méid seo
    Agus a shuidhcaint le fírinne go mbfhéidir
