Úrchnoc ChĂ©in Mhic CĂĄinte

A phlĂșr na maighdean is Ășire gnĂ©
thug clĂș le scĂ©imh Ăłn Ádhamhchlainn,
A chĂșl na bpĂ©arlaĂ­, a rĂșn na hĂ©igse,
dhĂșblĂ­os fĂ©ile is fĂĄilte,
a ghnĂșis mar ghrĂ©in le tĂșs gach lae ghil
a mhĂșchas lĂ©an le gĂĄire,
'sĂ© an trua gan mĂ© 's tĂș, a shiĂșr, linn fĂ©in
sa dĂșn sin ChĂ©in mhic CĂĄinte.

TĂĄim brĂșite i bpĂ©in, gan suan gan nĂ©al,
de do chumha'se, a ghéag is åille,
's gur tĂș mo rogha i gcĂșighibh Éireann,
cĂșis nach sĂ©anaim ĂĄthas de;
dĂĄ siĂșlfĂĄ a rĂ©alt gan smĂșid, liom fĂ©in
ba sĂșgach saor ĂĄr slĂĄinte-
gheobhair plĂșr is mĂ©ad is cnuasach craobh
sa dĂșn sin ChĂ©in mhic CĂĄinte.

A shuaircbhean tséimh na gcuachfholt péarlach,
gluais liom féin ar ball beag,
nuair a bheas uaisle is cléir is tuataí i néal
'na suan faoi Ă©adaĂ­ bĂĄna;
ó thuaidh go mbéam i bhfad uathu araon
teacht nuachruth gréine amårach,
gan ghuais le chéile in uaigneas aerach
san dĂșn sin ChĂ©in Mhic CĂĄinte.
