    Ag gabháilt suas dúinn go Tig na gCrann
    Go raibh giorriadh ina luí sa luachair
    Bhí tar éis buachaint ar chonaibh domhain.

    Le whip is spur ag gluaiseacht
    An suairc-fhear ia an Cailleach Donn
    Ach ba ghearr gur chuir sí suas de
    Go mba luaithe ná an seabhac fé fhonn
    Le faobhar, mar splannc, na corn ina dhiaidh
    Ar thaobh an mhóntáin réidh
    Ar nós an s-sidhe-gaoithe
    Ag imeacht síos is suas an raé.

    Iompódh ia fiche a bhí acu
    Gus shíleamar gur do nár bhaol
    Is an coileán dubh do shín é
    Go claoidhthe i mbearna an bhaoil
    Ba ghearr is gan mhoill go dtáinig
    I nár láthair ón Lios Mór
    Bhí Barrúnach an Chaisleáin ann
    Allcock is Donncha óg.

    Bhíodar siúd ag céafaráil le h-áthas
    Ag siúl an mhointeáin dóibh
    Ach mo dhochtúir sé sciob an lá leis
    Sé is áilne a bhfeaca fós
