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 tinn
Le haon ghean da mein is da clo
Da breithre 's da beol tanai binn
Do leimas fa dhein dul na treo
Is ar Eirinn ni neosfainn ce hi
Last night in strange fields as I roved
Such a vision I passed on my way
A young woman so fair to behold
That in seconds my heart was astray
Oh she reached out a welcoming hand
But I knew that it never could be
And before I could kiss her sweet lips
She had vanished forever from me
