1. 1] Aonar dhamhsa eidir dhaoinibh,
   2] atú anocht go neamhfhaoiligh:
   3] am aonarán a ccionn cháigh,
   4] 's ionn gan aobharán d'fagháil.
2. 5] Ní thuig mé an lucht so ag labhra,
   6] gá dtá ar tteanga mháthardha:
   7] ar n-aos aithnigh ní léir linn.
   8] mh'aithghin féin ó nach faicim.
3. 9] Ionann liom gach longphort lán
   10] is uaigneas d'éis mo chompán:

4. 13] Teóra ceardcha 'nar chleacht sinn
   14] áineas d'fagháil dom intinn,
   15] nach taighlim na trí ceardcha,
   16] do shní fhaighlinn mh'aigeanta.
5. 17] Teach meabhraighthe ar mac soirbhidh,
   18] rob áit oiris d'ógbhuidhnibh,
