    (Seo thíos leagan a fuair mé ó shean fhear comhgarach do Bhaile-na-Finne, tá ocht mbliadhna ó shoin)

    (I)
    A Shliabh Sneachta mhóir nach aoibhinn thú
    Ag éirghe amach ar maidin!
    As gur gile thú na'n faoileann,
    Fásann ciob ort agus cánach;
    Bíonn aírní ar an fhraoch ann,
    Sugh-craobh ar na habair;
    Agus tobair glan fíor-uisge
    Ag an tír in do mhullach.

    (II)
    Sé mo dhatan-sa de'n domhan áluínn
    Nach gcríochnuigheann san geimhreadh;
    Fásann duilleabhair glasa craobh ann
    Féil Bríghde ar bhárr na Scafaun;
    Bíonn an bheachóg ins an tSiobadh
    'Sí ag síor-chruinniú meala -
    Ní hionann sin 'san Bhian (?) Bhuidhe Brádach,
    Bíonn na caoirigh dá bheannadh.
