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 ?irinn
