    Go subalfainn Éire, na fhódaibh caola
    Leat sa ' phéarla an ghrinn

    (VI)
    Níl cáim na cam fé'n an t-saoghal
    Ó na com go barr a mear a mear,
    Ach bláth an droighín do shrauig sí
    Agus scáil' na pibh mar aol
    A da crobh mine reidhe
    Do bhí tabhartha do scríobh's do léigheamh
    'S gur bhí an manla mín í chráidh mo chroidhe
    Agus d'fhág mé claoidthe bpein

    (VII)
    'Suid í féin an bháb
    Do chuir na ceadt ar fán
    Le grádh den spéir bhean múinte maordha
    Ba dheise mear is lámh
    Is da shiúbhalfann féin an Spáin
    An Frainnc 's an Gearmáin
    Macasamhail mo grádh bán fionn
    Níor b'feidir liom í fághail.
