    Ó athair dhíl, is minic thú ag cainnt ar Éirinn thall,
    A gleanntain glas, a sléibhte deas, a coillte caor is call,
    Sé deir tú liom gur tír ina mbéadh ann an bhainrioghan beó
    Ach caidé an faith gur thréigeas í, is nach bpilleann tú go deo.
    Ó, mhic a rún, is mór mó ghrádh do'n tír ar a labhrann tú,
    Mó Éirinn dhílis, fearamhail fial, fuair onóir agus cliú,
    Anois, a mhic, bí thusa glic, is tabhair éisteacht do mo sgéal,
    Is ní dheirfidh tú anois nó arís gur thréigis Éirinn dhíl.
    Nuair a smaointighinn ar an lá sin thig sgannradh ar mó chroidhe,
    An sneachta a phlúchadh anuas go dlúth,
    Is bearradh fuar ar ghaoth.
