    (continued from previous page)
    Ní raibh bóthar treasna ná coirneál sráide ann,
    Ó'n áit a cailleadh é go dtí an cárnaín aoil,
    Nach bhfeictheá fear ann a bhean is a phaiste,
    Ag caoineadh Maírtín faoí dul i gCill.

    Dá mbeitheá tligthe is le crochadh amaíreac,
    An róp le fáisgeadh is an t-snaoim le rioghamh,
    Dá bhfághta litir sgríobhta ó Mhaírtín,
    Bí cinnte an lá sin go dtiocfá saor.

    Bhí a chuid caiple ceangailte ins na stáblaí an lá úd,
    A gcuid cluasa in-áirde is a gceann leo síos.
    Bhí a chuid báid móra ceanglaidhe sa dug an lá úd
    Níor sgaoileadh Láinéar is níor ceangleadh téád.

    Bhí na h-éanlaith mara sa dug an lá úd,
    Aniar ó Árainn is ó Sruth na Maoil.
    Snámh siad isteach ins an gcuan an lá úd,
    Mar bhéadh saighdiúir Gallda ag tigeacht i dtír.
