- Dán eile a chum Seán Ó Dubhgain, Loch ChathairLoch Chathair
Is í Loch Chathair atá i mbruach an t-sléibhe,
Loch amháin is deise i n-Éirinn,
Tá sí cumtha thart mar bheadh Éire;
Is í glas is féireamhail is uirthí buan,
Tá gach uile dhath inntí da bhfuil i n-Éirinn,
Dubh, bán, gorm, dearg, is donn;
Is maidin samhraidh ar dhath na gréine,
Agus gorm séimhidh i ndeireadh an lae.

Tig na h-ealaí seal do’n bhliadhan ann,
Is ag comhradh aníos linn ar Lir is a chlann;
agus ins an t-samhradh tá an t-iasg ag léimnigh;
is ortha pléisiúr go mbíonn siad ann.

is bíonn an fhaoileann ag seoladh síos uirthí,
seal na míosa annsin gach am,(continues on next page)
