    Bhí Riobárd lá Domhnaigh ag dul go dtí na Cáintíní. Bhiódh fear in a cómhnuidhe darbh ainm dó Seán “Gheanncach” ach bhí sé imthighthe thar farraige le tamall agus é ann fós dar le Riobárd Ach is amhlaidh bhí Seán tagaithe abhaile le cupla lá
    Connachthas Riobárd ag teacht agus cómharluighead do Sheán dul cois chocáin a bhí tamall ón dtig agus leogaint air bheith marbh chun scannradh do chur ar shean-Riobárd. bhailig Riobárd leis go dtí go bhfaca sé an ‘spioradh’ mar a cheap sé de réir deallraimh is beag ná gur cailleadh é le neart eagla. Seo mar ar innis sé féin cad a thuit amach :-
    I
    Lá breágh Samhraidh sa nGleann ag taisdil dom
    Is mé ag trial chun gasra grádhmhar shéimh
    Do dhearcas Seán Gheanncach na shamhail cois carriage
    Is é tar éis na fairrge trácht i gcéin
    S’fhiafruigheas go mall dhe cad a thuig annall comh tapaidh é
    D’fhreagair go fann mé amhlaidh do caillieadh é
    Do chritheas gan dabht le neart sgannradh is eagla
    B’iongantach nár cailleadh mé ach grásta Dé.
    II
    Is ró-olc an t-am do thainig an namhad so treasna orm
    Dia Domhnaig beannuighthe i lár an lae
