    (The Four Seasons of the Year - Peatsaí O'Callanáin)

    Thagann an t-Earrach mar a maidean, chiúin thebi
    Bíonn dillebhir ar crainnnibh agus cillúr ag eanlaibh
    Bhíonn finnsgar ag marcuigh agus adarca da séideadh
    Bíonn meidir agus misneach ar intinn gac aon fear

    * * *

    Núair a thagann's an samhrad, bíonn fad ar na laetibh.
    Bíonn teas ins an grían agus neart ar na gáothaibh
    Acht teidheann síad in deireadh i gceann againn in a dhiaidh sin
    Thagann múis agus fúrú ar ghealra na gréine

    * * *

    Núair a thagann's an Fóghmhair bíonn lón ag na daoine
    Agus biadha le stóráil faoí choinnú an gheimhreadh
    Bíonn mbeachaibh ag bailiú a gcuid meala faoí thúrim
    Lei aimsir, an teacadh agus dona na túra

    * * *

    Núair a tagann's an gheimhreadh, bíonn fuinn ins an gaoithe
    Bíonn na dilleór ag tuitim, ag crapa agus ag críonadh
    Act tagann an Nodhlag le solamar féiste
    Mar chine agus ar crocadh ar h-abháirlint an Aon-Mhic.
