    Ar Bhárr Chnoc na Naomh
    Ar bharr Chnoc na Naomh, is an lá geal ag briseadh
    Lochrann na maidne ag tógail a cinn
    Thoir a bhfad shoir, ag imeall na spéarthaí
    Ó, a Rí Mhór na glóire nach aoibhinn bheith ann
    Nach aoibhinn bheith feachaint ar dhorchadas na h-oidhche
    Ag fágail an bhealaigh ag solus an lae
    Na cladaigh, na gleanntaí, na locha ‘s na sléibhte An spéar is an fharraige ag athrú a ngné

    Smaointeacha deasa ag dathú do mhéoin

    Cluineann tú siosgarnaigh na gaoithe fríd an choiscrigh
    Is glugarnach an uisce ar na clocha tá faoi
    Tá na h-uain bheaga bhána go truaghcanta méidhligh
    Tá na maithreacha ag imtheacht ag seifte dóibh fhéin
    Tá na h-uain da leanamhaint go bradach na ndiaidh sa
