    Tráthnoinín déanach ar mian lucht cheóig
    Ag me ag dul fé dhéin an áit seo
    Cé casfaí im choinnibh act an spéar bhean óg
    Is gur binne a glór ná an chláirseach
    Do ritheas n-a coinnibh le mian dá poig

    Níor mhaith liom sa a thuille fé lámh na cruinne
    Acht í ar Thaobh na Carraige Báine

    Among flowers that grew so early.
