| My love is a son of the hill | A |
| He pursues the flying deer | B |
| His grey dogs are panting | C |
| around him his bow string sounds in | D |
| the wind Whether by the fount of | E |
| the rock or by the stream of the | F |
| mountain thou liest when the rushes are | G |
| nodding with the wind and the mist | H |
| is flying over thee let me approach | I |
| my love unperceived and see him | J |
| from the rock Lovely I saw thee | K |
| first by the aged oak thou wert returning | C |
| tall from the chace the fairest | H |
| among thy friends | L |

| What voice is that I hear that | M |
| voice like the summer wind I sit | N |
| not by the nodding rushes I hear not | O |
| the fount of the rock Afar Vinvela | A |
| afar I go to the wars of Fingal My | P |
| dogs attend me no more No more | Q |
| I tread the hill No more from on | R |
| high I see thee fair moving by the | F |
| stream of the plain bright as the | F |
| bow of heaven as the moon on the | F |
| western wave | S |

| Then thou art gone O Shilric | C |
| and I am alone on the hill The | F |
| deer are seen on the brow void of | E |
| fear they graze along No more they | T |
| dread the wind no more the rustling | C |
| tree The hunter is far removed | U |
| he is in the field of graves Strangers | V |
| sons of the waves spare my | P |
| lovely Shilric | C |

| If fall I must in the field raise high | P |
| my grave Vinvela Grey stones and | W |
| heaped up earth shall murk me to future | X |
| times When the hunter shall sit by | P |
| the mound and produce his food at | M |
| noon some warrior rests here he | K |
| will say and my fame shall live in his | Y |
| praise Remember me Vinvela when | Z |
| low on earth I lie | P |

| VINVELA | P |
| - | |
| Yes I will remember thee indeed | A2 |
| my Shilric will fall What shall I do | B2 |
| my love when thou art gone for ever | X |
| Through these hills I will go at noon O | C2 |
| will go through the silent heath There | D2 |
| I will see where often thou sattest returning | C |
| from the chace Indeed my Shilric | C |
| will fall but I will remember | X |
| him | J |
