    Baintreabhacht Maighdean
    (Last Verse except one)
    Da bfeicfeá thusa an spéir bhean, is í ag eirghe maidín Aibreain
    Í mar bhéadh dath gréíne no mar bhéadh realtóg bheag siocain,
    Bhí sí coisigheacht go h-eadtrom is ag éisteacht le gach maireann,
    Sí tobar na naomh í, is lámh reidhíghthí gach socrann

    "Tabhair chugam mo bhata go leana mé an ghéág"
    (Last Verse)

    Níl sin truideóg no faoillean bhán,
    O bhruach na locha go dtí na lár,
    Nach mbéadh ag scairtigh is a sior fághail bháis,
    Nuair a tcídh siad mo chailín bheag liom-sa ar láimh.
