34 GAELIC TEXT.
Tha lochran dealrach, dait', nan speiir
Air teirneadh sios do 'n chuan,

Cha chluinn mi fuaim sa glileann ;
Ach an ceardabhban, le siubhal fiar,
56 Ei ceol a's tiamhaidh srann.
A ghlinn ud shios, a ghlinn iid sliios,

A' tionndadh uait 'dhol thar do shliabli
60 Mo bheannachd siorruidh leat !
