    Smaointeadh ar an Am a Bhí - Amhrán
    I
    Is aoibhinn éalodh suas an gleann
    Agus suidhe ar bhruach na habhna
    San tSamhradh bhuidhe nuair dul a luighe
    Atá an ghrian tratnóna
    Na héanlaith beag ar bharr na gcrann
    Ag gabhail cheoil 'na suidhe go héaarach
    Na bric ag léimnigh ins an tsruthán
    go luthaireach éarach meidhreach
    II
    Is aobhinn suidhe ar mhullach cruic
    Ós cionn gort is coillte 's [corroin?]
    Ag smaoineadh ar an am a bhí
    Tá fad ó shoin in Éirinn
    Mar a chosain gaisgidhe na hÁrd Craoibh Ruaidh
    Gach bean, sean-fhear agus páiste
    Sul ar chur ar námhaid
    Ualach ar ár dtír agus marbh fáisge
    III
    Ar an sgrios a ghnidheann an námhaid orainn
    Is minic mise ag smaointeadh
    Acht tiocfaidh an lá le cuidiú Dé
    I mbaintear asta cúiteamh
    Beannacht Dé ar Éire bhoicht
