1 6 GAELIC AND ENGLISH POEMS.
Act sgapadh sliochd nan laocha ucl,
'S na gleanntan àrd 's na li-aonaichean,
A clileaclid 'bhi Ian cruidli-laogli aca,
Tha 'nis air caochladh nois.
Gun duine air na làraioliean,
Ach Goill 'us caoraich blian aca,
'S Mac-talla searbli dlie'n clàbaireachd,
Gur Gàidhlig air 'n romh 'eol.
AN NIGHEAN DUBH GHRUAMACH.
Ho ro mo nigliean dubh ghruamach,
An nighean dubh lachdunn,
As an Apainn,
B' ait leani fada bbuam thu.
Ho ro mo nighean dubh ghruamach.
Ho ro, (fee.
A nighean dubh chiar,
Ged 'cliaidh tu'm lion,
Cha b'e mo mhiann do bhuannachd.
Ho ro, lire.
A nighean dubh mhaol,
Nan casan caol,
Gur beag 'tha dh'aoigh 's de shnuagh ort.
Ho ro, ifec.
'S gann do chiabhan,
'S storach d'fhiaclan,
'S mor 'tha 'nial an fhuachd ort.
Ho ro, &c.
'S cruaidh na 's eiginn,
'S beag mo speis-sa,
Cleir 'bhi 'cur snaim-chruaidh oirnn.
Ho ro, &c.
B'flièarr learn niàldag
Shiinntach, ghàireach
'Sheinneadh dan 'us duan domh.
Ho ro, &c.
