« CLARSACH NA COILLE.
Fhuair e fhein a ragha ceile,
'Bliaintighearn' eibhin a b' f hearr dealbh ;
Gnùis na feile Ian de cheutaibh,
Gruaidhean reidlie mar ros dearg
Gu 'm bu reul i mar gliatli greine
Bha gacli treun-fhear air a lorg,
Coltas ban-righ'nn flatliail àlainn;
'S iomadh ait 's an robli oirr' ainm.
'S i a dhùthaich a bha deuracli
'N uair a leughadh sgeul a cliràidh
Gu'n do dh' eug i, ceann na ceille,
'Gheug iir cheutach 's i fo bhlàth.
Thug e riarachadh d'a inntinn,
'Toirt do'n th' 'an deigh a bàis.
Dhearbh e 'n gaol a bh' ac' araon,
'S cha dean e caochladh as gu bràth.
'Nam biodh m' fhiosrachadh gu m' dhùrachd
Bhiodh a chliii a sios ni b' fheàrr;
Bu toilinntinn leam 'bhi 'g innse
Sgeula cinnteach air 'an dan.
Gu 'm hu mhiann leam, 's co nach iarradh,
E bhi liath mu'n tig am bàs,
'S Eobhan 'bhi na dheigh gu buadhmhor
Mar cheann sluaigh a seasamh àit'.
