A ghairdean air clarfakh bhrifle,
'S lorg a flileagh fo luirich eatroim.
Sheall a ghealach mar bhloidh fgeithe
Ro 'n f heur os a cheann 's e lùbta ;
Ga luafgadh o thaobh gu taobh,

— Co fo ni cònuidh fan òiche ;

Is bhuail e air Conar na aonar y

Is neul e 'g eiridh fan fhè
O chàrr monaidh, 's gun deo fan àile ;
Ach glacaidh an doinionn an neul fo,
Sgapaidh an Fheinne àilleachd.

Le fliuil gu brath nach feuch e."

No mar ghaoth ro uaimh na liArdbheiiin.
