LIA LINDGADAIN

1. Is eól dam aní dia fil
   Lia Lindgadain láech-labair:
   Lindgadan ria lúad, dar lenn,
   nosmachtad slúag fer n-Érenn.
2. Hi flaith Find meic Findtain úais
   ba rechtaire co rochrúais:
   cíarbo rannaire Osraige
   ba callaire coirmthige.
3. Fecht dia cúala in guth glan,
   in mac alla oc imlabrad,
   isin charraic threthuill te
   dia dígail cechaing cuicce.
4. Dofarraid barr na tuinde,
   rosamaig fri serb-luinde,
   cor' bris in charrac cen cheól
   fer clis na scallac scíth-eól. Eól.
