Lachen und Weinen zu jeglicher Stunde Ruht bei der Lieb' auf so mancherlei Grunde. Morgens lacht' ich vor Lust; Und warum ich nun weine Bei des Abendes Scheine, Ist mir selb' nicht bewußt. Weinen und Lachen zu jeglicher Stunde Ruht bei der Lieb' auf so mancherlei Grunde. Abends weint' ich vor Schmerz; Und warum du erwachen Kannst am Morgen mit Lachen, Muß ich dich fragen, o Herz.

Gáire is caoineadh ní heol [dom] tráth a mbuailte ‘Brath ar an ngrá, ar an oiread sin cúis[ean]nna. Gáire bhreacadh an lae! Cén fáth anois na deora Na deora um thráthnóna Rud nach eol fiú dom féin. Caoineadh is gáire ní heol [dom] tráth a mbuailte ‘Brath ar an ngrá, ar an oiread sin cúis[ean]nna. Deora – grian ag dul faoi Is dúiseacht lán de gháire An mhaidin lárna mhárach, An bhfuil aon bhrí leis, a chroí?
