    Share Share Post
    Bhí beirt mná comharsan in a gcomhnuidhe i mBun a Droighin uair. Bhidís ag ceannach ubh ach níor reídhthighdear riamh le’n a chéile. D’eirigh eatorra maidean aonaigh. Bhí fear chéile duine acu dar b’ainm do Ruaidhrí Ó Dálaigh á geosaint ar a chéile. Dhein sé an ran seo dhóibh :-
    Ar maidin lae an aonaigh is gan aoinne beo im thímcheall
    Do chualas sa an t-éirleach ag béithibh ag coimheas gar
    Lad ag siór-rádh le’n a chéile na’ déanfaidís stríocadh
    Go n-árdóthaidís go h-aer ubh na n-eán so cois Inne.
    D’éirigh Maire is do bheir sí ar an dtlú
    Is dubhairt sí go tapaidh go mbrisfheadh sí siúl
    Bhí an rámhann ag Nóra is is ró-árd do leímeadh
    Is bhí Roderick i dteannta a d’iarraidh iad a rudhteach

    Lá saoire sa Bhealtaine chuadhas go dtí an Coirreán.
    D'ólas braon fuisgí is do bhíos im' amadán
    Nuair a chiummhnigheas ar an mbaile do bhíos ag tiurneál
    Ó thaobh an bhóthair isteach sa lochán.
    Bhíos-sa féin tabhartha is bhí an cúrsa orm docht
    Bhíos ag tig Christie Conway timcheall a h-ocht
    Ar maidin amáireach nuair a fuaireas mo meabhair
