    Éire, agus a chuid Deóraidhe
    From: (Seaghán Ó Duibhir an Ghleanna")

    (I)
    Éistidh liom-sa sealad,
    A bhuachaillí na gcarad,
    Bhfuil fuadar fúibh i le tamall,
    le fonn dul i gcéin,
    Gan suim i dtír ná i dtalamh,
    Ná i nidh ar bith ag baile,

    Ag geiteadh 'gus ag preabadh,
    Faoi bhrón, faoi chumha, 'gus deacracht,
    Gan aoibhneas sult ná séan.

    Nach bocht do chás 's nach aisteach,
    Nach deacair dhuit bheith meangach,

    Ag cailleadh an nirt 's an spreacamh,
