    I
    Oidhche cinn an dá la dhéag
    Tar ar cruthuigheadh d’oidhcheanta faoi’n spéir
    ‘Seadh nochthuighthear oileán gléigeal
    Go h-árd i lár an chuain,
    Píosa aniar ó Árainn
    ‘Seadh feictear é an tráth sin
    Is leath-uair roimh an lá
    ‘Seadh ísligheann sé faoi’n tonn.
    II
    An t-é a dhearc go grinn air
    ‘S a chonnaic é an oidh’e sin
    Nuair a chuir sé síos air
    Sé’n t-samhail a thug sé dhó
    Ná lóchrann soillseach príomh-chathair
    A bheadh lasta suas le haoibhneas,
    Nó solus geal ó réaltaibh neamh
    Le glaisreódh seaca móir.
    III
    Nach b’álainn is nach b’aoibhinn
    An radharc ins an meadhon oidhche
    Na tonntra ar fad ‘na thimcheall
    ‘S iad claoidhte síos le h-áthas
    An fhairrge ‘na calm
    ‘S an draoidheacht ‘na ceó dhá leagan
    Ar thúr agus ar mansion, / Ar charraig is ar áill.
