    Is mairg a bhíonn idtír gan duine aige féin
    Mar lá na Brúighne seadh luigheann an bata ar a thaobh
    Agus ar a tharrac chun chill'
    Ní bhíonn aon chara 'na dhaidih

    Is íád na prátaí dubha
    A d'fhág ins an bPoor house sinn
    Is annonn thar fairrge
    I roilig an tsleibhe tá na céadta fear treasgairthe
    Is righ na bhFlaitheas go réidhidh ár gcás.

    * * *

    Fear bocht a bhí na chómhnuidhe 'na aonar, bhí air, na prátaí d'ullamhú dhó feín tar eís oibre an lae. Seo mar a dubhairt sé:-
    "Is fada á nigheadh doíbh
    Is fada á gcur síos dóibh
    Is fada dhóibh thíos ar an dteine
    Fiagóid is fiche a dhóigheann Tadhg bocht san oidhche
    Sar a mbogann an croidhe ag na Turcaigh."
