96 LAOIDHEAN SPIOEADAIL.
'S a clium an doinionn atadh siias,
cheithir àirdibh giuaisidh ghaotli ;
'Ga sgiiirs' le neart nan aingle treiin,
'Luathacli' an leir-sgrios o gacli taobh.
Tha obair nan se la 'rinn Dia,
Le lasair dhian ga cuir 'na sgaoil ;
Cia mòr do shaibhreas' Righ nam feart.
Nach ionndrain casgradli nihile saoglil !
'M feadh tha gach ni 'an glacaibh 'n eig,
'S a chruitheachd fèin dol bun-osceann,
Teannaidh am Breitheamh oirnne dlù,
A cbnm gadi ciiis a cliur gu ceann.
'N sin giuaisidh E o àird nan speur,
Air cathair a Mhorachd fein a nuas,
Le greadhnachas nach facas riamh,
'S le' Dhiadhachd sgeudaichte mu'n cuairt.
Tha mile tàirneanach 'na làimh,
A chum a nàimhde sgrios am feirg.
'Us fonn-chrith orr' gu dhol an greim,
Mar choin air eill ri am na seilg.
Aingle gun aireamh tha na chuirt,
Le 'n siiilean suidhicht' air an Righ,
Chum ruitli le òrdugh-san gun dàil,
'S na h-uile ait ga'n cur an gniomh.
