p.70

1. 1] Cridhe so dá ghoid uainne, —
   2] cá ní is truaighe for talmhain
   3] ná duine i mbí dá anam
   4] do bheith tamall gan anmain?
2. 5] Uaimse ag inghin an iarla
   6] truagh gan iasacht mo chroidhe,
   7] go dtuigeadh féin nách bhféadar
   8] bréagadh croidhe i mbí toirse.

3. 9] Cuirfead iomchar mo chroidhe
   10] ar dhuine oile i-mbliadhna;
   11] gidh eadh, dá gcleachta a iomchar,
   12] biaidh sí diomdhach don iasacht.
4. 13] Biaidh sí tinn, biaidh sí corrach,
   14] biaidh sí gan chodladh choidhche,
   15] biaidh sí ciamhair cumhach,
   16] biaidh sí dubhach gach n-oidhche.
5. 17] Ní iarrfa adhbhar gáire,
   18] badh sáimhe lé bheith dubhach,
   19] go sgara sí rem chroidhe
   20] go bráth ní bhfoighe furtacht.
6. 21] Uch! ní cothrom an roinn-se
   22] do-ní an toirrse, dar linne, —
   23] croidhe nó dhó ag duine
   24] 's duine oile gan chridhe!
