Ar a ghabháil 'n a 'chuain damh 's mé bhí go huaibhreach
Tinn lag buartha im intinn,
Bhi me feachaint uaim ar an speir aduaidh
'S í éaló uaim 'na trealtai.
Ach faraoir géar géar 's mé an ceann gan chéill
Níor ghlac mé comhairle mo mháithrin féin,
'S gur dhúirt sí liom fríd chomrá ghrinn
Go Beal-Ath-hAmhnais 's ná triall ann.
Ach ba mhón a thug mé grá do mo chailín bán
An lá breá i gcúl an gharraí,
'S do bhéilín bláth mar chúr na trá
'S do ghruann chomh dearg leis na caorthainn.
Chuir mé lámh ar an chuan, 's bhí mo chroí lán gruaim
Ag ceiliúr caoin na n-éanlaith,
'S nach trua gan mise ag éaló leat
Faoi rópaí 's seoltaí seidte.
Orú, a chuid 's a rún dá ngluaisfeá ar súil
Go tír na long as Éirinn,
Níl tuirse croí nó tinneas cinn
Nach leighisfí ann gan amhras.
Nó ba tú mo rogha innui is inné
Agus coinnivh agat féin ón bhás mé,
Nó gan ghrásta Dé ní mhairfitdh mé
Ar an tsráid seo i mBéal-Ath-hAmhnais.
