    (continued from previous page)
    Bhí gréine samhraidh lasadh
    Ceóltaí binn na n-éan
    Bhí bric is míolta gearra
    Seabhaigh na ngob fada
    Is bhí fuaim ag mac-all
    Le lámhach Uí Néill.
    A Sheáin Uí Dhuighrigh ghaiscigh
    Is láw (lághadh) do ghabhar bog (beag) bainne
    'S nach fearr ag teacht abhaile í
    Ná bó indá lúgh (laogh)
    Ní'l lá in san t-seachtmhainn
    A rachadh bean da bleaghan
    Ná cárt is fiche bainne
    A bhéarfadh sí gan scíste
    'S ní'l haiclear lín nó borraigh
    Nó fear a buaile 'n bealaigh
    A dtiocfa isteach ar maidin
    'Sa d'fuir-a-haw go dtí 'n úith
    Ná gheobhadh ól is aitis
    Spórt agus imirt
    Agus cead a dhul a chodladh
    Le mac fhir an tighe.
    ó Mháire Ní h-Armheasaigh.
