    I've an Irish question due for tomorrow and left my Irish book in school. I've searched the internet and not found it, so if anyone would be so kind as to scan the page of their Irish book with "Jack" on it I'd be extremely grateful.

    Could just transcribe it either?

    Yeah, that'd be great.

    Jack
    Máire Mhac an tSaoi

    Stapaire fionn sé troithe ar airde,
    Mac feirmeora ó iarthar tíre,
    Ná cuimhneoidh feasta go rabhas-sa oíche
    Ar urlár soimint aige ag rince,

    Ach ní dhearúdfad a ghéaga im thimpeall,
    A gháire ciúin ná a chaint shibhialta -
    Ina léine bhán is a ghruaif nuachíortha
    Buí fén lampa ar bheagán íle.

    Fágfaidh a athair talamh ina dhiaidh aige,
    Pósfaidh bean agus tógfaidh síolbhach,
    Ach mar conacthas domhsa é arís ní chífear,
    Beagbheann ar chách mar gheal lem chroí é.

    Barr dá réir go raibh air choíche!
    Rath is séan san áit in a mbíonn sé!
    Mar atá tréitheach go dté crích air -
    Dob é an samhradh so mo rogha pháirtí é.
