    Aréir im luí dom 's mé im aonar
    'S mé im codladh comh socair 's a bfhéidir
    Deineadh dom taidhbhreamh a bhain sgeimhle cléibh asam
    Cuimhneocadh coidche go críc mo saol air
    Go bhfeaca mé an bás ag teacht féin dein-se
    Leitir bán na lámh faoi seala
    Le h-órdú láidir ó láimh an Aon Mhic
    Chun seasamh gan spás na láthair féineach
    D'fheach mé suas air comh cruinn 's a bféidir
    Bhí líthe gránna ar tláth lag méirgireach
    A chabhailín cnámhach 's a dhá cois caola
    'S bun go bárr ní raibh spide féithe air
    Bhí clog na h-uaire na lámh clé aige
    Bhain sé an cling chun mise a plaoseadh
    Ana chonnaicigear feineach cud ba mhéin leis
    Do labhar leis le cogadh na céille
    Foil a bhráthair grádaidh a réiteach.
