<\/strong>N\u00ed labhra\u00edonn na seandaoine anois,\nFaoi na Fianna lena p\u00e1ist\u00ed \u00f3ga,
\nCaitheann siad iad amach,
\nNuair nach bhfuil ach poll sna br\u00f3ga.<\/p>\n

\nIad ag \u00f3l ar\u00eds,
\nAg breathn\u00fa ar pheil Sasanach,

N\u00ed \u00fas\u00e1ideann na seandoine a dteanga

\nUs\u00e1ideann siad b\u00e9arla,
\nAgus f\u00e9achann isteach sa tine.<\/p>\n
Agus an ghrian ina codladh is t-o\u00edche,
\nT\u00e1 r\u00e1s an lae cr\u00edochnaithe,
\nFeicimid briongl\u00f3id\u00ed de Bhaldraithe:
\nIs br\u00e9ag iad\u2026 t\u00e1 siad briste… maraithe.<\/p>\n
