    An Rábaire Saoirlinn
    Theannas liom chun imtheacht ó’m mhuinntir,
    Is tarrac liom síos cois Féile
    Mar d’airigheas dhá innsint go minic idir deora
    Go bhfaghfainn-se obair mo céird ann
    Ag taisteal na slighe dhom do chasadh chun tighe mé,
    Is d’iarras cead suidhe go séimh ann
    Ach d’fhreagair gan mhoill an tsean bhean críonna
    Agus dubhairt ná raibh slighe aice d’aoinnne
    11.
    Do labhair an bhrighdeach leis an mhnaoi críona
    Agus d’fhiafruig an raibh ‘na croidhe aon daonnacht
    Agus Rabaire Saoirlinn do chur amach san oidhche
    Ag taisteal na tíre agus é ‘na aonar,
    Mara bhfuil tuighe agat ná leabaidh na luighfíd-se
    Tabhair cead suidhe istigh féin dó
    Mo hata gur sgaoileas de mhullach mo chinn,
    Agus ghabhas léi “míle buidheachas”
    111.
    Nuair a bhí am chun luighe againn cuirfeadh síos mé
    Go “rúimín” greanta ba réilbhigh
    Mar a raibh leabaidh “clúmh” ann fé bhratacha líne
    Agus cuílteacha ar dhruim a chéile,
    Ba gairid an mhoill go dtáinig taobh liom,
    An ainnir is í ‘na léine.
