    “Arsa an mhathair leis an ingean”

    Share Share Post
    I
    Arsa an mhathair leis an ingean
    ‘S iad na luighe san oidhche
    Mas bean thu tá ar bhruach pósta
    Na santuigh - thusa ‘n mhaoin.
    Na an fear beag aige i mbíonn
    Nach n-imtheoradh dhá phiginn ‘snach nolfadh.
    II
    Le sin a labairis fear an toighe
    ‘S ar a breitheamhnas a bhí
    Sann tochaidh mé i gcomnaidhe an bhólacht
    Sann tochaidh mé’n mhaoin
    Sa fear beag aige i mbíonn
    Nach nimtheoradh dhá phighinn ‘snach nólfadh.
    III
    Ceist agam ort arís
    Ceoca sin den dís
    Is measamhla dul siar an bóthar
    Sgafaire na bfear baoi
    Chuirfeadh ceathrar aca sa díog
    Na leipreachan na dtrí mbó beag.
    Sean-fhocal
    Mas deas duit do chóta is deise duit do léine.
