    (Séamus Ó Breanain as Sráith Chaisil a cheap, nuair a chuaidh sé go dtí an Oileán Úr fá thuairim dhá hichead bliain ó shoin. Fuair mé é ó Mháire Ní Thionánaidhe (25 bliain) Mín-an-tSamhaí.)
    I measg Sléibhte Thír Chonaill mar seód glas
    Tá gleanntán fíor-álainn in a luighe,
    'Is fíor-ghrádh mo chroidhe-se do'n bhaoll sin
    Ní féidir a choidhche a chlaoidh
    'Sé mo ghrádh-sa grádh láidir an deóraidhe
    Do'n áit a bhfaca mé an chéad uair an lá,
    'N áit a chaith mé le pléisiúr m'óige
    Go subhailceach, neamh-bhuartha gach tráth.
    A ghleanntáin ghlais ghrianmhar na nóinín,
    A bhaile bhig álainn na gcraobh,
    A léanta tá breacaighthe le samharcáin,
    'S a thigh hig ar imeall an fhraoigh,
    Is orraibh-se a mheabhruighim go minic
    Cidh gur fada ar shiubhal uaibh ariamh,
    Ná ní laigheadann fhad talamh na fairrge
    Fíor-ghrádh mo chroidhe na mo dháimh.
    Is fíor 'as is fearamhail a mhuintear
    A chómhnuidheas go suairceach annseo,
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
