    Deirge.
    Nach í an deirge a chuaidh ar baile I bhfeirg leis an ghile.
    Ag insirt cleasa goile ar ghruaidh nó ghrádha
    Agus gach aon neach ó Ghlinne.
    In intleacht na cruinne,
    Ghéobhadh amach cé acu a bhuaidhfidhe nó a bhfheárr.

    Dá mbeirfinn ar mo lil, an uair sin go cliste
    Ruadh glas go gcuirfinn fhéin ar a bás
    Agus ni luaithe liom mó lil.
    Ná mo rún searc agus í a pilleadh.
    Agus dar liom gurbh í an deirg
    A bhuaidh agus a b’fhearr.

    Tá a píob mar an lil ar fhíor-spinc a brollaigh
    Tá rósaí ar a leacaibh, seímhe [sáins]?
    Tá gáir léithe le maise.
    Bheirfeadh ean as craoibh an tsneachta
    Is aoibhinn í na searc í.
    Agus is ró-dheas í i mbláth.
