- Aisling thruagh do mhear mise,
fa-deara an suan síthe-se;
amhra do chailg mo chridhe,
mairg re dtarla ar dtaibhse-ne! - Ní thig liom musgladh go moch,
ar shuan ní fhaghaim árach,
mo thruaighe nár hobadh inn,
codal uaire ní fhéadaim. - Ochán! truagh nách tig mh'annsa
i dtaibhse ar cuairt chugamsa,
an ghnúis tsoidhealbhdha, an ghruadh ghlan,
gidh tuar doimheanmna a deallradh. - Ní chreidim, ní chreidfe me,
a teacht go bráth na breithe
im radharc a-rís, dar linn,
im amharc d'fhís ná d'aisling.
