    (Peatsí O'Callanáin)

    Núair a thagann's an maidin lé h-éirigh na gréine
    Bíonn méidhir ar na daoine ag éirig as a ngáeltibh
    Bíonn an smólach, an gleóiseac, an chuach agus an céirseach ag tabhairt glóire do'n Árd-Rí, Sé crotach gach aon rud

    * * *
    Núair a tagann's an t-neadaire i meadhon an lae glé-geal
    bíonn soilseach gan smallac in néalra na gréine
    Act thugann sí lighinn agus í ag imirt le fánadh
    Agus éaluigheann sí uaithne mar imthigheann's an lan-múir

    * * *

    Núair a tagann's an tráthnóna, bíonn bród ar na daoine
    An nBráthidhe(?) a bheith i gcóir shul dha thagann's an oidhche
    Act té dhínins fhailigh, nac tugann aire da dhuty
    Aró sé an cáilamhaint indeire na cúise

    * * *

    Núair a thagann's an oidhche, bíonn sgíath ag gach duine
    Ag cómhraidh agus ag símse i' na suidhe ag chois teine
    Act théighimíd a codladh, trom, tuirseach ó'n scláibheact
    Sin, féist do cheap Críosta mar sheimhneas d'ár gnámha
