    A Chití ‘n fhál mhín,
    Nach aoibhinn duit achan lá
    ‘S gur i bh’flaitheis na naomh atá
    Na mílte anam gan smál.
    II
    Ní iarrfainn a’n spás
    Ó Árdrigh na gcathrach anuas
    Ach cead troda leis an bhás
    Naoi lá sul a leigfinn í uam.

    A dhearthair. ‘s a dhearthair
    Da bhfeicfea sa í réir annseo
    Da bhfeicfea sa í réir
    ‘S a’ bás indiaidh a claoidh
    IV
    Bhí gach dlaoi da gruaig
    Na dual ‘s na triollsaí buidh’
    Nach é an sgéal truagh
    Nach bhfuair mé an chainnt aicí.
    V
    A dhearthair, ‘s a dhearthair
    Da bhfeicfea sa teampall í
    Bhí a comhnair díonta gléaota
    Ó láimh a tsaoir.
