- Thug mise an ruaig ó mhullach na cruaiche
Agus chugam anuas cun na sleibste bháin.
Ar tuairisg mo cailín a d'fhágh m'innthinn buaidhreamh.
Agus rinne gual dubh dhé mo chroidhe.
D'at mo guailne go dtí mo cluasa,
Agus fuair mé fuagrádh glan géar ó'n mbhás.
As ní'l duine dar chuala mo sgéal an uair údh.
Nar dubhairt go mo truaigh bhóct í an Caisleach bhán.2
Ar ceann an staighre tá plúr gach maigdhean.
As siúd mearóg ar bhólóg bháin.
Is truaigh nach liomh í gan buaidh na punth í.
Is í bhéith ar chuanta liom ar láimh.
Deanfhaidh teach mór duithi ar shiul an bhóthor.
As cuirfheadh coisthe faoí na clann.
Is a cuilain eatrom dhá mbhliaghad bhó domh do cleanghail fhóghmair as ní chuirin shuim.
