Whole text
- Mairg dar compánach an cholann,
cumann fallsa ní fuath lé;
guais thall a cionta fam chomhair,
tiocfa am bhus omhain é. - Fuath m'anma is annsacht mo cholla
connradh meallta mairg do-ní;
mé dá toil congbhaidh an cholann
foghlaidh mar soin oram í. - Gach grádh riamh dá radas di-se
níor dhíol uirre ar fhuath na bpian;
do fhill mo ghrádh 'n-a fhuath oram
lán dom fhuath an cholann chriadh. - Ní díol ceana an cholann mheabhlach
gidh mór an toil thugas dí;
minic nach buan críoch a cumainn
ní fríoth achd fuar umainn í. - Lór dom theagasg gé táim aimhghlic
i n-am an bháis—is beart chruaidh—
na huilc i dteine ga dtéaghadh,
na cuirp eile d'fhéaghadh uaim. - Re hucht an bháis—is breath cantar—
an claochlódh truagh thig don ghné;
an corp ar chalbha na huaighe
olc an damhna uaille é. - Do-chím an béal dearg ar ndubhadh
's an déad chailce 'n-a cnáimh ghorm,
mo thoil ní fhuigheam ón uabhar,
ní chuireann soin uamhan orm. p.109 - Na súile i n-aimsir an éaga
adhbhar biodhgtha mar bhías siad
—gá beag dúnn ón rígh mar rabhadh—
do-chím cúl ar aghadh iad. - A ghrádh féin is aimhleas mh'anma
ós éigean dúinn dul ós aird
fuair an cholann cuid na deise;
romhall do thuig mei-se a mhairg.
Mairg.
