    “Lá dá rabhas san gleann im'aonar.”

    Lá dá rabhas san gleann im’ aonar
    Ag fiadhach go tréig is mo chú lem’ thaoibh
    I espied a damsel with most handsome features
    And she dressed most gaily beyond all queens
    Bhí scáil a leacain ar dath na rósaí
    Is ba bhinne a glór ná na ceolta sidhe
    Her love and friendship pierced through my nature
    I’d wish her daily to live with me.

    Bhí Rí ann fadó is ba reamhair an Rí é
    Nuair a théigheadh sé ar mhuin capaill do leagad sé síos é; is má thaithneann mo sgeal leat neosfadh airíst é
    Sgéilín grinn a bhíodh ag na sean daoine fadó nuair a bhíodh na leanbhaí ag iarraigh ortha sgealta a innsint dóibh.
