An Aimsir
Is cuimhin liom an lá
Maidin fhuar i lár an fhomhair a bhí ann
Lá breá samhraidh a bhí ann
Ní raibh scamall sa spéir
Bhí gaoth bhog ag seideadh
Bhí an ghrian ag scoilte na gcloch
Bhí sé fuar
Bhí sé ag tuilleadh baistí
Bhí an spéir dorcha
Bhí an ghaoth ag seideadh
Bhí sé an ghaofar
Bhí sioc ar an mbothar
Bhí na crainn agus na pairceanna geal leis an tsneachta
Bhí sé ag cur sneachta go trom
Bhí scáth na hoiche titithe
