Sa tsean ghleann thiar a bhi s? raibh
Go dt? gur fh?s na hadharc' uirthi
Bliain is c?ad is corradh laethe
Go dt?inig an aois go tr?an uirthi
Bhi s? gcr? bheag ins an cheo
Go dt?inig feil'eoin is gur ?alaigh s?
Thart an r?d san bealach m?r
Gur lean a t?ir go gear uirthi.
Ni raibh nduine ar a t?ir ach donnch? ?g
Is d'ith s? an l?n san t-anlann air
Ni raibh aige ina dhorn ach ceap t?ine m?r
Agus leag s? anuas ?n arradh ?
Nuair a chuala an gabhar b?n go raibh s? ar l?r
Thug s? l?im chun t?rrth?la
Thug s? r?s 's ni raibh s? s?sta
Is leag s? sp?on an t?illi?ra.
Chomh cruinn le r?n gur th?g s? feoil
Gan pis gan m?r?n d?ibhirce
Ach d'ith s? cib agus barr an fhraoich
Sl?nl?s min is craobh?gai
Draoin is dreas is cuilcann glas
Gach n? ar dhath na h-?inleoga
Cuthar?n sl?ibhe, duilli?r f?ile
Caora sr?ana agus blains?ogai.
Chuaigh s? dh?ol cios le caift?n spits
Is chraethnaigh a croi go dtr?igf? ?
Chaith s? an o?che ar bheag?n bidh
Mar nd?il is go geasfa? f?ar uirthi
D'fan s? 'a ?iche i dt?in ros coill
Is chaith s? ? go pl?is?ra
Go dt?inig an slua ar maidin go luath
Is thug siad amach as éirinn
