Amhrán (continued)
“Do thóg míadh an tsaoghail me féinig síos go dtí an abha”
(continued from previous page)Mé i bhfad ón buinn tsaoghala
Is gan aoine den creideamh ceart ann.
Dá mbeinn i gcogadh Rí Séimhe
An lá is tréine is is trime a beadh ann.
Ní thanóchadh aon phléar liom
Is ní baoghal liom an fhaid a bheadh sí ar mo dhrom.
IV
Cabharíd le chéile a Bhéarig is deinidh súas cabhar
Deiníd léine dhom mar is déirc í chur ar mo dhrom
Níor fhreagair me aoine níl aoine balbh ná bodhar.
Is ní fheicimse aoine ag teacht leim cabhair
V
Do thóg míadh, an t-saoghal me féin thar farrge annonn
Ag díol cíos is fuar lá gan áireamh pingin ina [?]
Tá mo leanbhaí ag áirig is gan gráinne mine sa tsach
Is dá gcaithfinn an lá amuich
Ní thabharfhinn criothan as an ithir isteach.
