    NA FRANNCAIGH

    Tháinig na Franncaigh go Cill Allaidh le bánú lae
    Caitighidh díbh na cótaí dearga iompuighidh liom féin
    Ag bearna na gaoithe tháinig am briseadh agus dul faoi le gréin
    Bhí deich gcéád de clann na nGaedeal le cur faoi an gcré

    AN FEAR A CAILLEADH LÁIR
    Mo chreach! 'S mo chradh! Is mé a cháill laír
    An capall a bfearr a bhí in Éirinn
    Tharnóchadh cart agus carr nach stadach go brath faoi an gceáchta
    Dá mbeadh fhios agam féin go raibh sí chomh fogus den mbás
    A bfurusta dom-sa a cosaint ón éag
    Nach truagh mise feín feúchaint ar mo lón
    Do shearrachán óg a tigheacht abhaile dom trathnóna
    A seithrigh ar thoir a mhathair.
