    Ó, a Mhuire ‘gus a rí, nach mairg oraibh bíos,
    I dtoiseach a t-saoghail le pléisiúr,
    nó i ngiorracht gur a bíos an tinneas a do chlaoidh
    ‘gus a’ tarraingt ar na críocha deireannach’
    Níl sé ar an domhan níd ar bith níos mó
    Ná an péacadh is mó dá ndéantar
    Ná’n mhaighdean dheas óg, a mhealladh le do phóig
    ‘gus a fhágáil faoi bhrón ‘n-a dhiaidh sin.
    Dá mbéidhinn-se thall sa Spáinn, mo luighe ar leabaidh bháis
    Agus cluinim-se do ghlór i nÉirinn,
    Go n-éirochainn go sáimh, leis an bhradán ar an tsnámh
    I nduibheagán i lár na hÉirne,
    Focal ar bith mná ní chreidfidh mé go bráthach
    Go bhfághaidh mise scríobhtha i mBéarla é,
    Nó gur chaith mé naoi lá, ag cleasaidheacht leis an bhás,
    Nó gur bhain mé duit spás ar éigin.
