Is scíth mo chrob ón scríbinn (Author: [unknown])

p.70

My hand is weary with writing

Colum Cille cecinit
  1. Is scíth mo chrob ón scríbainn;
    ní dígainn mo glés géroll;
    sceithid mo phenn gulban cáelda
    dig n-dáelda do dub glégorm.
  2. Bruinnid srúaim n-ecna n-dedairn
    as mo láim degduinn desmais;
    doirtid a dig for duilinn
    do dub in chuilinn chnesglais.
  3. Sínim mo phenn m-bec m-bráenach
    tar áenach lebar lígoll
    gan scor, fri selba ségann,
    dían scíth mo chrob ón scríbonn.
