- A bhean chridhe chompánta,
mar taoi, is amhlaidh do shaoileas;
bídh ann, a shuairc shoghrádhach,
faol oile i gcroiceann caoireach. - Má tá nách beinn láindíleas,
beag mo shuim ar thoil ndéinmhe;
do bhí mise im chláiríneach,
tuigim bacaighe bhréige! - Bíodh a dheimhin agaibhse
arís oram nách brisfe;
ná fliuch dá thaobh t'fhallainge,
ná caill cách oile is mise. - Misde a fhad gur aithneamar
h'éadach agad 'gá iompádh;
ní misde! ní loisgeabh-sa
an mhéad mhaireas dom thiompán. - Do bhí mise i gConnachtaibh
seal fada ag foghlaim chluana;
ná bean dúinn san obair-se,
ní fhuil ionnad acht tuata! - Do b'fhada mé neamhthuigseach,
luach mo mhúinte díom dlighe;
mé feasta ní meallfaidhear;
beannacht duit, a bhean chridhe. p.129 - A fhir chroidhe charaim-se,
do-bheir do thoil 'na tuile,
saoiltear le gach gadaighe
nách díleas neach sa chruinne. - Atá tusa malairteach,
ní dhéanaim bacaighe bhréige;
atáim umad amhairseach
ó do bhraitheas do mhéin-se. - Neach mar thú ní fhacasa;
cách ort ní chaillfe mise;
ní fhuil fliuch dom mhatal-sa
acht an mhéad do bhean ribhse. - Mise choidhche ód chaidreamh-sa
do chaillis, más luach tiompáin;
ná bíodh ort 'na aithreachas
a bhfuil liomsa dod dhioghbháil. - Dá mbeinn le cluain d'ealadhain,
más cléireach mé nó tuata,
ar neach do fhóirfeadh mh'anacair
do rachainn do chur cluana.
