An Gabhar Ban (The White Goat)

Sa tsean ghleann thiar a bhi s¨ª raibh
Go dt¨ª gur fh¨¢s na hadharc' uirthi
Bliain is c¨¦ad is corradh laethe
Go dt¨¢inig an aois go tr¨¦an uirthi
Bhi s¨ª gcr¨® bheag ins an cheo
Go dt¨¢inig feil'Eoin is gur ¨¦alaigh s¨ª
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¨² ¨®g
Is d'ith s¨ª an l¨®n san t-anlann air
Ni raibh aige ina dhorn ach ceap t¨²ine m¨®r
Agus leag s¨¦ anuas ¨®n arradh ¨ª
Nuair a chuala an gabhar b¨¢n go raibh s¨ª ar l¨¢r
Thug s¨ª l¨¦im chun t¨¢rrth¨¢la
Thug s¨ª r¨¢s 's ni raibh s¨ª s¨¢sta
Is leag s¨ª sp¨ªon an t¨¢illi¨²ra.
Chomh cruinn le r¨®n gur th¨®g s¨ª feoil
Gan pis gan m¨®r¨¢n d¨¦ibhirce
Ach d'ith s¨ª cib agus barr an fhraoich
Sl¨¢nl¨²s min is craobh¨®gai
Draoin is dreas is cuilcann glas
Gach n¨ª ar dhath na h-¨¢inleoga
Cuthar¨¢n sl¨¦ibhe, duilli¨²r f¨¦ile
Caora sr¨¦ana agus blains¨¦ogai.
Chuaigh s¨ª dh¨ªol cios le Caift¨ªn Spits
Is chraethnaigh a croi go dtr¨¦igf¨ª ¨ª
Chaith s¨ª an o¨ªche ar bheag¨¢n bidh
Mar nd¨²il is go geasfa¨ª f¨¦ar uirthi
D'Fan s¨ª 'a ¨®iche i dt¨®in Ros Coill
Is chaith s¨ª ¨¦ go pl¨¦is¨²ra
Go dt¨¢inig an slua ar maidin go luath
Is thug siad amach as Éirinn ¨ª.
