    I.
    Is fuil ‘s feol a d’fás sé
    Ní fuil, ní feol, na cnámh é.
    Baintear a ceann dé
    Agus olann sé deoch
    Agus gnídh sé réidhteach
    Idir caraid is námhaid.
    Freagra - Peann Cleit

    D’amharc mé agus ní bhfuair mé

    ‘S nuair nar bhfuair thug mé liom é.
    Freagra - dealg in mó chos.
    IV.
