Bha 'bhuaidhean fein aig' gach aon diubh,
'S sheall iad e an caochla doigh
Mar FhiodhuU, Duisiol gu h-àlllte,
Piob, us ClArsach, cuir ri'ceol.
'S ge do theireadh fear an àireamh,
Gu'm b' e Chlàrsach Ban-Righ 'cheoil,
Cha bu dhearbhadh sin air aiUteachd,
Gu an d thug ì^ thar cach an còrr.
Tha cuid ann tha pailt an storas,
'Us tha euid-mhor dhiubh deth na bheachd,
Gu'm b' e 'n gliocas fein 'san seoltachd,
Dh' fhag an t-òr aca cho pailt.
Ach ge robh ealaichean deth 'n or ac',
■ Agus dròbhain air na blair,
Cha d' thug sin doibh ciall no eolas,
Co am fear orain a b' fhèarr.
ThajCuid na'm barail tha daighean,
'S mar an droighean tha cho grèang,
Ga b' e bhìos iad ceart no'm mearachd,
Cha'n eil' an aire ach aù* spraig.
Labh'raibh iad am briathran bras,
Air nì nach fac' iad, 's nach robh ann,
Le guth-ard, s le faomeachd facail,
Co is tapaidh ann 'n ceann.
Tha cuid 's their iad fein gur Baird iad,
Ge 'n d'thoir iad, ach dan air èiginn,
Ach 's lurach i bhios gun aillteachd,
'Us cha chuireadh fear ceairde brèid oirr* :
Tuthag oirre deth gach seorsa,
Gun fhuaitheal boidheach air te dhiubh,
Na pìlleag gu rìbphuilleach, rapach, breòite,
Gun fhiu sgeòid, anns am bi feum dhi.
