Truly with submission I asked whether she was Helen
or "Luna Home"
There answered me this fair one with her tresses interwoven
I'm none of that rash trainage you've named just before
But a miserable creature whose races are forlorn
oppressed by the foes of the Romans of late
I'm Ireland who objects being free
With happy news has come to thee
That the glorious French will soon redeem
This nation their own to brave stock Milesian
Those heroes so stout must yield
To obviate our claims right then great guns will roar
Then she complained for want of speech
Her mouth enclosed in sorrow deep
To ease her woes.
So let heroes and brave men with great guns now plough the deep
So fill a glass dear neighbours theres a period to my scroll.Dubhairt an duine a thug an dán thuas dom-sa gur'b é
an t-Ath Seán O h-Aithtir S.P. Cill na Móna é
Tá paróiste Cill na Móna suidhte tuairm
