- Neimhthinn an galar é an grádh,
bréag a ráidhid cách dá thaoibh;
éinneach riamh ní raibhe slán
ag nách raibhe grádh do mhnaoi. - Grádh mná 'gá bhfuilim i láimh,
ní bhiam tríd ag dáil na ndeór;
is fada ó do-ghéabhainn bás,
acht an grádh dom chongbháil beó. - Do chongaibh mé m'fheóil is m'fhuil
do ghrádh ainnre an chuirp mar ghéis;
ithim mórán, do-ním suan,
in gach ceól is buan mo spéis. - Moille mé ná crann re sruth;
atá mo ghuth ar mo bhreith;
dá mbeidís bruit Leithe Cuinn
fá mo dhruim, do bheith sé te. - Is teó an teine ná mo chneas,
dá mbeinn fá eas do bheinn fuar;
dá ndeacha duine seang slán,
do-ghéabha mé bás go luath. - Toramsa do thiocfadh téad,
is fliche mo bhéal ná an sponc,
dar fia! ní íobhainn an loch,
is cruaidhe cloch ná mo bholg. p.11 - Aithnim nách oidhche an lá,
aithnim an bád tar an luing,
aithnim an dubh tar an mbán,
tar a bhfuil do ghrádh fám thuinn. - Aithnim nách capall an fiadh,
aithnim nách é an sliabh an mhuir,
aithnim an beag tar an mór,
aithnim nách é an rón an chuil. - Cuid do dheireadh báid ós tuinn
is seacht gcuill ar nách bíd cna,
an t-ainm fá bhfuilim i mbroid;
is aon do sgoil bheanfas as. - Aoinbhean is annsa fán ghréin, —
ní bhia mé níos sia dá cheilt —
ní rug a grádh uaim mo chonn;
dar an Rígh, ní holl mo neimh!
