    Thug mo mháthair na tomhaiseanna seo leanas dom:
    Gé roimh gé , gé in diaidh gé , Gé idir dhá ghé,
    Gé roimh dhá ghé, gé in diaidh dhá ghé ,
    Dhá ghé roimh gé , dhá gé indiaidh gé , Cé mhéad gé ann.
    Trí cinn.
    Chím 'na suidhe , na seasamh .
    Chím ar bhláth an aitinn í,
    Ceó ná drúcht ní leagann í,
    Is ní stadann sí de shiubhal.
    An Ghealach.
    D'éirigh an bhean in a seasamh,
    Ar bhárr an chnuic , is dh'feach sí siar,
    Bhuail sí snaidmh ar ceann dá cosaibh.
    Is mairfidh sí na mílte bliadhan.
    An Ghrian.
