LeaghaiJh na DMle 'nuas le teas,
Ceart mar a leaghas teine ceir :
Na cnuic 's na sl^ibhtean lasaidh suas,
'S hi'dh teas ghoil air a chuan gu lèir.
An curtain gorm tha null o'n gbrèin,
'S mu'n cuairt do'n chruinne-ohè mar cbleòc,
Criipaidh an lasair e r'a chèil,
Mar bhèiUeig air na b-èìbhlibb beò.
'S a chum an doinionn atadh siias,
O cheithir àirdibb gluaisidh 'ghaoth ;
Ga sgitirs' Je neart nan aingeaì treun,
Luathach' an lèir-sgrios o gach taobb.
Tha obair nan sè Ik rinn Dia,
Le lasair nhian 'g a chur m'a sgaoil ;
Cia mor do shaibbreas Kigb nam fcart,
Nacb ionndrainn casgradb mbile saogb'l !
The elements with fervent heat
Shall melt like wax in furnace glow,
The flames from hills and mountains meet,
And all the ocean boil below.
The azure curtain of our sphere.
Hung like a mantle o'er the earth,
Shall shrivel up and disappear
Like bark upon the burning hearth.
And still the fiery storm to urge
The four strong winds togetlier haste,'
And, with the might of angels, scourge
The willing flames to wilder waste.
Thus do destroying powers rexjeal
Thy six days' work with one accord,
But Thy dominion would not feel
The loss of thousand worlds, Lord !
Gaelic from BUCHANAN'S " Day of Judgment.'
melorly is an Ossianic chant.
English from "Spiritual Songs of DcaALD BUCHANAN." The
