26 DAN AN DEIRG.
AN DARA CUID.
Mar ghath soluis do m' aiiam fein,
Tha sgeula na h-aimsir a dli'fhalbh ;
Mar gliatlian soluis air aonacli aoibliinn,
'S gach ceum mii'n cuairt doibh dorclia.
5 Ach 's dlù an aoibhneas do bhron,
A's diibhar a' clieo 'g an ruagadli ;
Ni e greim orr' air sleiblitean àrd,
'S bidh na gatlianna-gràidh air am fuadacli.
Is amliuil, mar slioliis romli neul,
1 Gu m' anam thig sgeul an Deirg ;
Mac-samliuil an cath an Fhir-mhoir,
M' anam mar sheol 's an doininn fheirgich.
An talla stua-glilas Innis-fail,
Chaitli sinne mar b' àbhaist an oidhclie.
1 5 Chaidh 'n t-slige 's an t-oran mu'n cuairt,
'S clia bu dual duinn bhi gun aoidheachd.
Glaodhan broin uair seacli uair
Thainig gu'r cluais air sgiatli na gaoitlie ;
Dh'iarr Ulann a's Sùil-mliaith mu'n cuairt,
20 Cbunnas Crimin' aig uaigii an laoicli.
'N uair a tbuit a h- Armor 's an truid,
Thuit ise fo dhubhar geige :
Ach slmàig i 's an oidhclie gus uaigh,
Rinn i leaba gun luadh ri eirigh.
