  1. Tomhaiseanna 22.11.37
    Cé'n rud a gníonns siubhal ar a chlaigeann
    - Tairnge bróg.
    Sean-duine beag agus a theach ar a ghualainn aige.
    - Seilmide.
    Molt mór, dubh teann.
    Istigh idir dhá ghleann.
    Nuair a bhogann an molt mór, dubh, teann,
    Bogann an dhá ghleann.
    - Asal agus párdóga air.
    Tobairín fíor uisce,
    Ar fíor-bhárr na sléibhe.
    Fuinneóigín gloine,
    Agus doruisín cré air.
    - An t-súil
    Chím 'na suidhe agus 'na seasam í,
    Chíonn an bhláth ar aitinn í.
    Ceo ná drúcht ní leagann í,
    Is ní stadann sí de shiubhal.
    - An ghealach.
    Tá botháinín 'sa gháirdín,
    Go rachadh na céadta ann.
    Ní fhaghainn-sé slighe ann,
    Nó leath mo chuid éadaigh.
    - Cruiceóg beach.
