    Mo chroidhe thú is mo chumann
    Is nuair a tagadh an sneachta geal go hursain,
    'Gus an bhaintreabhach bhoct is a leinbh,
    D'eirightheá féin ó'n dteine
    Is do churthá iad na suidhe idionad
    Go dtrághadh an saol sa tuille,
    Is go n-imithigheadh an fuacht is an cuisne,
    Is go ndeineadh an grian a noctadh,
    Is go lonnradh sí go hárd ar cnocaibh,
    Is ar bhruach na Banndan gile
    Gur geall le fíon a h-uisge
    Is gurab é an díol diarrtha féin in ionad,
    Ná beannacht Dé 'gus Muire
    'Gus na baintrighe is a leinbh
    Is dá mbeadh mo shúile déanta de ghlaine
    Nó croidhe na sgeiche gile,
    Nó iarran cruadh na gcruidhce
    Nó de adhmad cruaidh na coille
    Id' dhiaidh do bheinn ag sileadh
    Ó beannact Dé 'gus Muire
    Ar d'anam bláth na coille.
