ORAN.
Tha na siantan air caochladh, tha 'n saoglial fo
sprocM,
Chuir an doineann fhuar, fhiadhaich an ianlaidh
nan tosd ;
Tha sneachda trom, domhail a' comhdach nam
beann,
A' lionadh nan glacan, 's a' tacadh nan allt,
'S mise 'feitheamh an aisig aig carraig a' chaoil,
6 Ri smaointean air abhachd nan laithean a dh' aom.
Ann an laithean ar n-oige dol an comhail an
t-shiaigh,
Cha sheall sinn ach faoin air mar dh' aomas iad
nainn ;
Cha tig e 'n ar smaointinn cho goirid 's tha 'n dail,
Gus am briichd gach leon oirnn 'g ar lubadh gu lar,
Gun churam, gun eislein aig teumadh air taobh,
1 2 Ar laithean a' snag uainn gun aireamh air aon.
1 The elements are changed ; the world -is under gloom.
Doinean, the storm; ianlaidh, the bird-kind, the
birds.
Waiting the ferry at the rock of the Sound (of Mull).
7 An comhail an t-.sluaigh,m the gathering of the peojAe.
We look but lightly on how they slip away from us.
Cho goirid 's tha 'n dail, how short is the time {delay).
Till every ill {lit. wound) croud on us.
Aig teumadh air taobh, at going aside {inclining to
wrong.)
Snag, creeping ; gun aireamh air aon, not one (day),
to be found (reckoned).
