    “Is cúis fé ndeara dom féinig mar d'fhágas ó Éire riamh”

    Ní raibh súil lé'm anam aon nóiment i dtaisteal an bhóthair liom,
    Acht mise ag agairt ar an Rí glórmhar mé stiúradh ins gach cómhgar cruínn.

    Bhí sioc agus sneachta dhá chatha agus mo chosa bhí cráidhte ón siúbhal,
    Mo shúile ag sileadh mar an bháistaig nuair a chloisinn ghá rádh aca liom,
    Ara Phaddy cad a thug tu sa n-áit seo,
    Nó an fada ó thanghais chúghainn,
    Mar a n-imigheóir arís amáireach geóm na do'n ngrán id chúl.

    Mo shlán beó siar chun na hÉireann,
    Agus mo ghasra séimh fhear shuairc,
    Annsúd nár mhisde dom féinig eagla baol ná buairt,
    Acht fluairse fairsinge agus féile ann agus an t-Aifreann naomhtha á riar,
    An sagart na sheasamh i n-éil ann ag tabhairt teaghasg na bhéal ar Dhia.
