    Na Seacht Sailmí
    Na seacht sailmí a' guidhe fá'n Mhaighdin,
    leis na seacht saghaid a chuaidh fríd a croidhe.
    le tuigse cheart a'thabhairt do aonneach,
    Caidé na píanta a d'fulaing Críost.
    Nuair a chonaic Muire a mac ba lag a croidhe,
    Agus ba chlaoidhte a sgairt.
    Bhi Sé sgartha sínte ar an chroich.
    A's fuil a chroidhe istigh go tréan a'teacht.

    A pheacaidhe nach deacair libhse claonadh
    Dearc ar na clocha agus iad sgoilighthe na bpíosaí.
    Iasg na fairrge 'sa theallach brúideamhail
    'S ná'r fhan nidh ar talamh ná'r chreathnuigh ar sgiúrsáil..
    Scoilt na clocha agus na crainn.
    Dhruid na spéartha os ar gcionn.
    'S nach raibh a'n deallramh ins an ghréin,
    Fhad is bhí mac na hóighe i bpéin.
    'S an teampall Caitliocach a bhí dá chriochnuighadh
    Le dhá chéad bliadhain ag na saorthaí.
    Ná'r thuit go talamh a's ná'r scoilt na bpíosaí,
    le linn an dúnmharbhadh rinneadh ortsa Chriost.
