    “Tá gaoth na tír' ag séideadh 's tá na h-éanlaith ag dul chun suain”

    Amhrán
    Tá gaoth na tír' ag séideadh 's tá, tá na h-éanlaith ag dul chun suain,
    Tá'n dubhar ag dul chun síneadh ar an mbán;
    Ó éadan ruaidh an tsléibhe, tagann méidhléacha na n-uan;
    Agus fuaim na caise ag caoineadh ar an tráighe.
    II. Tá uaigneas ar mo anam, a's is fada liom an oidhche,
    Ba mhian lem spiorad gluaiseachta leis an ghréin;
    Ó'n mbuaidhreadh seo atá ar mo aigne a's Ó Ceallaigh rún an tsaoghail,
    Go tír a bhfaghainnse fuasgailt ar mo phéin.
    III. Glaoidhtear orm anoir agus is aoibhinn liom an glór,
    mar bhéadh leoithne chaoin ag cogarnaigh thar an gcuan.
    Rachadh chun mo luinge, nó go sgaoilidh mé mo seól.
    Agus go ndeonuightear mo shroichint slán anonn!
    VI. Ní tír go h-iomadh soillse na laoithe liom dé b'fheárr,
    mar a maireann feile croidhthe idir saoithe Inse Fail.
    Is ann atá mo thriall acht go tír na n-óg.

    Dá bfeictheá thusa an balann aniar a's siar an bóthar.
    Brístí fada buraí air as cloch dhearg i -na bhróga
    Píosa beag de bhoctaí leis le tabhairt do ghiorrsacha na h-aite ar naoi nó deich de phóga.Thuas i Mín -an-Iolar bhí an bhainis a bhí sásta.
