    “I nDairbre atá an ainnir dheas mhná is gile geal gáire is féachaint...”

    Seán Ó Siochfhradha - file a bhí istigh in Dairbre tuairim is céad bliadhan ó shoin,agus dhéin sé cúpla bhéarsa do chailín éigin:-
    (1)
    I nDairbre atá an ainnir dheas mhná
    Is gile geal gáire i' féachaint
    Ba gile í ar a brághaid na an eala ar snámh
    Is ná an sneachta atá ar bhárr na sléibhthe.
    (2)
    Do chonnac-sa lá í ag tarrac le snáthaid
    Faoi luingeas is faoi án-bhrat caol-bhuig
    Bhí an fiolar 's a cág is a' chuid eile dé'n ál
    Ag iomadh go h-árd ar ghéagaibh.
    (3)
    B'fhearr liom í fhághailt ná an t-airgead bán
    Ná bhfuil de thalmhaintí breághtha in Éirinn
    Níl aon óig-fhear le fághail
