A mach as uamlia gabhaiclh 'tliriall
An diabliol 's a chuicl aiii glean fein,
Ge 'cruaidh e 's elgin teaclid a Lath r,
A' slaodadh sliibhraidh as a dheigli.
'N sin fasaidh rnglia anns an speur
Mar fliàir na maidne g eiridh dcarg;
A«: innse o;u bheil losa fein,
A' teachd na dlieigh le latha garbh ;
Grad fhosglaidli as a clieil' na neòil,
]\Iar dhorus seoniair an àrd Righ,
'Us foillsichear am Breitheandi nior,
Le oiòir "us o-i-eadhnachas o-un clirioch.
Tha 'm bogba-frois mu'n cuairt da cheann,
'S mar thuil nan o-leann tha fuanii a irhuth :
'S mar dheaLanaeh tha sealladh 'shid
A' spiitadh as na neuhiibh tingh.
A ghrian arddocharan nan speur,
Do ghlòir a phearsa geillidh grad :
An deab'adh drillseaeh thig o ghnùis,
A solus muchaidh e air fad.
Cuiridh i uimpe culaidh bhroin,
'S bi'dh 'oiiealach mar o-un dòirt' oir full,
'Us crathar cumhachdan nan speur,
A' tilo'eadh nan reulta as am bun.
