[From Mannin, #3, 1914]

Yn Lhondoo as yn Ushag-Reeast

"Lhondoo, Lhondoo, cuin nee oo chyndaa reesht ?
S'feayr ta n gheay sheidey aynshoh er y clieau.
Cheet Reset, cheet reesht, jean siyr, jean caghlaa nish,
Son ayes y churragh ta my edd beg fieau."

Ta'n Ushag-reeast geaishtagh rish yn sheean lhome,
T'ee geamagh er y Lhondoo feiy ny laa.
"Vel oo cheat, vel oo cheet? Ta my chree ayes plan trome."
Agh ta yn Lhondoo gra, "Cha jig dy braa."

Edmund Goodwin.
