    Féachaint an meisce a bhí ort nó mearbhall díghe
    No in do codladh go socair a bhí tú
    Go scriosfainn an ghainimh ded mhála ba mhíne
    Go mbeirfainn liom go tig na díghe thú
    Go n-ólfaimís ár ndóthain mar ba é ba cleachtadh dham ar a thagainn go dtí tú.
    A Learaí, a Bhreathnaigh an malla ba mhíne
    A mhic an athar nár mharluig a líne
    A mhic na máthar ná cháinfear choidche
    Tá go ghataí daingean ó maidin go h-oíche
    Agus féar glas ag tarrsaingt an tighe agat
    Daoine bochta agus osna na gcroí istig
    Mar ba maith é d'fhocal ar maidin lae an chíosa
    Bhíodh fuaim ag an eas ag casadh go cruinn ann
    Fuaim ag an mbradán ag snámh sa linn ann
    Fuaim na cuaiche ag cluais an tighe agat
    Tradhnach, naosgac agus an faoileann
    Agus gach beag eile a bhíodh tríotha
    Ar do láthair mar a mbíodh gráinne an tsíl-cheart
    A fixed haggard for threshing with a flail.
