    Tá gealach na gconnlach ag éirghe 'san spéir,
    'S grian dheas an fhoghmhair ag tomadh 'san mhaoir,
    Tá mise 'mó shuidhe síos ar árdán bheag dhonn,
    Measg Gaoth-Bearra na gcoillte, Gaoth Bearra na dTonn

    'S nach alúinn a amharcann Cró Leighinn na bhFiann (?)

    Ach suíd thall an Aireagal bhfuill aici bárr (?) buaidh
