  2. Is tír lán saidhbhir tearc í,
    Ó! tír urgeal do'n dearc í,
    Is tír fíor-ionmhuin tearc í
    Mo thír dhil duthcais féin
    A fir, níl fir níos groidhthe
    A mná, níl geit 'na gcroidhthe,
    Do chuirfinn m-anam síos dí,
    Go deonach, lán de shéan.
    Níl tír dubh, dúr as fann í,
    Ní h-eadh! tír teagrach teann í.
    Ó tír fíor-dhílis sean í.-
    Mo thír dhil dhuthcais féin
    Má's arm áilne gnúise
    Más dúil do naomhthacht duaise.
    Thar teórain námh
    Chara ní bheidh caoi léan.
    Ó! Tír úr aluinn blath í,
    Ó! tír thearc dhílis grádh í,
    Seadh! tír thearc aluinn blath í
    Mó thír dhil dhúthcais féin.
