    (continued from previous page)
    Tá an fear is a bhean in éinfeacht i mbainfheis le na chéile
    'San sean duine bheadh na céadta bliadhan ní chrapfadh sé le h-aois.

    (III)
    An té d'feicfeadh Bárr an t-Sléibhe nuair bhíonns an ghrian ag éirighe
    Ní bhíonn duibheachán ins an spéir ná gangaid ins an ngaoith
    Tá an broc ar thaobh an léana ann is sionnach ruadh na péice
    'S tá an girr-fhiadh ag boc léimaigh ann le pléisúir ins an bfraoch
    Bíonn utha na mbó ag pleagadh ag teacht abhaile ag géimnigh
    Is binn deas é ceól na n-éanlaith ins na gleannta ag tidheacht na h-oidhche
    Tá an fear is an bhean in éinfeacht i mbainfeis le na chéile,
    Is an sean-duine bheadh na céadta níor bfada leis an saoghal,
    Tá an abhainn le do thaoibh ann
    Is binne tuaim san oidhche
    Tá bradan innte sinte is na bric ar chúrsaí an t-snaimh
    Tá uain dá mbreith ins na faoillidhe ann
