  1. Dán an Bháis

    Share Share Post
    Sa tsean-am nuair a gheobfadh duine bás ba ghnáthach an dán diada seo a rádh os comhair an chuirp. Tá sé no seacht bhéarsa ann ach níl a'n duine sa cheanntar go bhfuil an dán iomlán aige anois. Seo cuid de:-

    Toisigheann an bás ag bun do choise
    Agus gearrann sé leis do shaoghal go teann
    Cuirtear duine fa choinne an tsagairt
    Ach deirtear leis go bhfuil sé mall.

    Níor chuir tú in do faoisdín leath do pheacadh
    Ní dearn tú deirce ar an té bhí fann
    Béidh na h-aingle romhat ar uachtar uisce
    'Siad go cliste anonn 'sa 'nall
    .....................................................
    A's níl an anam bocht a bhéadh saor ó pheacadh
    Nach seoltar é go Cuan na nGeal.
    srl.
