GHAIDHEALACH. 137
Tha 'n inntinn air ghluasad,
A mach thar nan cuantan,
Gu Galldachd 's an uair,
Far am buannaich iad stòras.
'S ann a sheòladh iad thairis
Far robh Fionn o chionn tamuill,
A dh' Eilean na meala,
'S e fearann na h-òige.
Far an cnuasaich iad barrachd
'S a mhaireas ri'm beò dhaibh.
Gheobh iad uachdaran fearainn,
'Chumas suas iad ri 'm maireann,
'G am bi sprèidh agus earras —
Sud barail nan leòmag-.
Urlar.
Tha maighdeanan 's an tìr so
Tha mòrchuiseach,
Tha desseri a dhìth
Air gu leòir aca ;
'S rud anns am bi brìgh,
'Bhios aca le tea ;
Cha 'n èirich iad tràth,
Cha tig e ri 'n càil,
Fuireach anns a' bhlàths,
Sud a chòrdadh riuth'.
'S mòr an t-aobhar truais.
Mar tha cuid de 'n t-sluagh,
Nis air cinntinn suas,
Ann an stròdhalachd.
Fasain bha 's an Fhraing
Air tighinn a nall ;
Bidh Soiree 's an àm,
Air gach còdhail ac'.
Cha dean brochan mèig
