Mo chean duitsi, a thulach thall

Laoiseach Mac an Bhaird cct.

 Mo chean duitsi, a thulach thall, fád thuisleadh ní subhach sionn; damhna sgíthi do sgeach dhonn, cleath chorr do-cíthe ós do chionn. Sgeach na conghára, crádh cáigh, 'na háit comhdhála do-chínn; buain na craoibhe, mo lá leóin, daoire 'na dheóidh mar tá an tír. Dubhach mo chridhisi um chum fád bhilisi, a thulach thall; an chleath ó bhfaicinn gach fonn, do sgeach chorr ní fhaicim ann. Do bhíoth dhamh ag dénaimh eóil, an ghégsoin fá gar do mhaoin; fada siar ón tírsi thuaidh aniar uaim do-chinnsi an gcraoibh. An ghaoth ar bhfoghal a fréamh, craobh gan bhloghadh doba buan; ní tearc neach dá ndearna díon, sníomh na sgeach fá teadhma truagh. Gég chruthach bá corcra lí, mé dubhach má dol fá dhlaoi; mairg nár smuain ar dhaoirsi nDé, 's go bfuair mé fád chraoibhsi caoi. Do teasgadh ar n-aoinchreach uainn, an chaoimhsgeach dob easdadh d'eón; sgé a samhla níor fhás a húr, dhúnn go bás badh damhna deór. Mo chréidhim go bruach mo bháis, mo-nuar nach éirghionn ar-ís; ní fhaicim cnoc na gcleath gcnuais nach gluais lot na sgeach mo sgís. Cnoc na gconghár, crádh na sgol, a n-orláimh námhad a-niodh; d'éis a learg as dubhach dhamh, tulach ghlan do chealg mo chion. Mo.
