Bláth an mhachuire Muire Bláth an mhachuire Muire, a dhaoine, nach diultfuidhe; ní fhuil agaibh fáth fuirigh; an bláth abaidh ionnsuighidh. Ón lá tháinig i dtalamh rí an domhain fa dheaghbhaladh a-tá a luibh chabhra ag cách garrdha 'n-ar chuir fa chonách. Córaide a mheas re Muire is béas don bhláth machuire ar nach bí gabháil 'n-a glas acht a fhagháil don tí thoghfas. A duasa móra mince gé a-táid oruibh innillte rachaidh thoruibh tráth oile bláth toruidh na trócoire. Mór n-adhbhar arab eagail go mbia i n-uair an airteagail gidh lán do thoradh an tráigh mo lámh fholamh dá hagháil. Cead a bhuana ó bhás a-mach ní thiobhra Críosd ar cheannach; saor a-bhos bláth na faithghe, a-nos tráth a thiomsaighthe. Gidh iomdha dá haos ghrádha dóibh ag deilbh na síothchána, is lór don uile a heineach ar Muire ógh d'impidheach. Do bhiadh aige ar bláth na mban 's a chúl do chur re peacadh annsacht na mbeach ar an mbláth gach neach dá annsacht d'óglách. Go gcoisgeann diomdha a dalta nochtar do dhruim dúthrachta cíche ar mná gaoil gá ghuidhe; fa sgaoil a-tá an trócuire. A grásaibh Muire móire dúinn ní damhna míodhóighe an bhrágha dar bhean a glas bean do bu dána dóchas. Do dáileadh a-nuas do nimh don mhnaoi le méad a creidimh dóigh na mná-sa nír meathadh grása as cóir do chuimhneachadh. Resin mbrághaid do bhí i láimh do thogair geall do ghabháil; maith séan an ghill do gabhadh sgéal budh linn do leasaghadh. Do-chuaidh dá fhaicsin 'n-a hucht dealbh Muire gár mhó guasocht gur bhuing don deilbh a dalta 'n-a seilbh do dhruim dánachta. "Do mhíriar gidh deacair damh" do rádh re Muire máthar: "beith dod réir ní dóigh dhamh-sa mo chóir féin go bhfaghar-sa. "Má tharla aindlighe ann gabhar sgáth mh'ainbhis agam breith na deilbhe leam i láimh mar gheall rem eidhre d'fhagháil. "Mo mhac ní dó a-bháin do bheinn go lá m'éaga is eadh thuigim achd muna sgaoile Dia dhé nach bia ar gcaoin-ne re a chéile." Tug Muire gur mhaol a goimh aiseag a mic don mháthair; fuair síoth an té dá dtugadh is fríoth é gan fhuaslugadh. Le a luatha thug a thoradh do bíthí dá bhreathnoghadh a haithle an ghill do ghabháil nar mhill aithne an uachdaráin. Ní meabhraighthear ar Mhuire, gidh minic a míorbhuile bráighe do bhuain a geimhil as áille fhuair fhóireidhin. Do bhí ar an mnaoi gá dám dí díom féin do beanadh bráighe, ní lugha mh'éigin dá héis cumha nach éidir d'fhaisnéis. Dom anmain is eadh bheanas an mac do bhí i mbraighdeanas; fan sgéal do chrádh a cridhe dál mo dhéar do dlighfidhe. A-tá rem fhiachaibh uaim-se fan mhac gér mhó a hanbhuain-se go dtráighe mo thuile locht bráighe nach fuighe furtocht. Nach ionann an t-adhbhar déar críoch fhágbhuim ar an uirsgéal an cás dar ghabhomar greim is cás anollamh Ifrinn. Sul dheach meas ar méad mo chean ní fhóghnann damh dom dhídean a gheall dá ngabha mi-se achd cara teann tairise. Ní hiongnadh d'fhior mo dhoibheart bídh guasacht san ghealltoidheacht a chaomhna ar gheall do ghlacadh; fearr go haobhdha mh'anacal. Ní bláth garrdha as ghoirthe dhí, luibh an mhachaire Muire; lán don bhláth tarla an talamh; is tráth m'anma d'fhuasgaladh. Gér áibhseach maitheas Muire i súilibh na sochuidhe beith do réir an Dúilimh dhí 'n-a súilibh féin ní faicthe. Éadáil do-gheibhthear 'n- a gar bean toighe na dtrí bpearsan; gearr ó gach dhuine a deightheach ceann guidhe na n-oileithreach. Go ndearna ar siur éigean air; grádh don chóir thug ar dtosaigh; do thréig a mhian do Mhuire srian nach téid re a thrócuire. Bean déanta na ndaoine dhí, bean dar bhuidheach Dia is duine, bean nar threabh le tuinn meanma, cuing ler threabh a tighearna. Íocshláinte fhóireas gach nimh, béal do b'fhoirbhthe i n-aois leinibh, cridhe nach gabhann fa ghrádh, nighe na n-anam n-easlán. Bean chúitigheas ar gceana, ríoghan as mhó muinteara, bean thoibhgheas toil na gcroidheadh, 's ga bhfuil saidhbhreas sochuidheadh. Leag lóghmhar as lia buadha, cruithneacht abaidh ionbhuana, comhurtha an tunna nach tráigh, urra cobhurtha a compáin. Bean do chuir na folta i bhfad, bean do thraoth neart a námhad, sódh feithmhe na bhfear ngrádha, bean teichmhe na teagmhála. Bean fholaigh an athar mhóir, bean do snadhmadh re seanóir, bean nach admhadh a fear féin, bean nar hagradh i n-éinchéim. Ní hiongnadh grádh d'fhagháil as; "fasaidh daonnacht tre dhúthchas." móide an t-álgas fhuair an bhean uaim mar thángas 'n-a timcheal. Do b'airrdheana dísle dhí ón dá thaobh táinig uimpe, a haobhdhacht is a humhlacht a maordhacht 's a measardhacht. Toil a mheanman dá mhoghaibh tug Críost mar do-chualobhair gur fhuluing a ghoin don gha ó choir ubhaill na habhla. Bláth.
