CLARSACII ISA COILLE. 17^
'Caoidli nam braithi-ean 'rinn a fàgail
Nach robli 'n àicheadh 's an taobli tiiath,
Cailean àluinn agus Pàdruig,
B' iad na h-àilleagain gun ghruaim
Chuala mise daoine 'gràiLinn
Blia le Pàdruig anns a' champ,
'N uaii' a bha e thar an t-sàile
Gu 'm bu trenn a làmh 's a lann.
Bu cheann-feadlina sgairteil teom e
'Thàirneadh faobhar gun bhi mall ;
'Xàm dliol sios am blàr nam miltoan
Dlieai'bh e 'gniomh 's na h-Innsean thall.
'S ann Di-màirt mu'n chàisg a fliuair i
'Bhuille chruaidli a rinn a leòn ;
Dh' fhalbli ail- sgeitli a li eibhneas l)huaipe,
'S thuit mu 'n cuairt d' i ueòil a' bhròin.
Maiglistir Cailean bha gun anail
'S a shùil cheanalta fo sgleo. — •
B' ionndrainn thu à tir 's a cinneadh
Nam dhaibh tional 's gun thu beo.
'S beag an t-ioghnadh mar-a tha i,
Chaidh an sàs innt' saighdean cruaidh
An la chunnaic i 'bhi 'd chàradh
'N deise bhàin, gun cliàil 's tu fuar ;
Gun smid chainnte ad chulaidh-aifrionn
Ged-a rinn iad a cur suas : —
'S gur-a trie a leubh thu 'n fhirinn,
'S ann o d' bheul bu bhinn a fuaim.
