Areir is me tearnamh ar neoinn
Ar ar dtaobh eile en teora seo thios
Do thaobhnaigh en speirbhean im' chomhair
D"fhag taomanac breoite lag tinnLe haon ghean da mein is da cloDa breithre 's da beol tanai binnDo leimas fa dhein dul na treoIs ar Eirinn ni neosfainn ce hiLast night in strange fields as I rovedSuch a vision I passed on my wayA young woman so fair to beholdThat in seconds my heart was astrayOh she reached out a welcoming handBut I knew that it never could beAnd before I could kiss her sweet lipsShe had vanished forever from me
