XrOMNA GHUILL. J ^l fì^
'S an earbag a' clisgeadh o leabuidh,
Gun eagal ro Oisiain a bhròin.
Earbag nan cam còsach,
San robh cònuidh Oscair is Fhinn,
Cha 'n imir mi fein ort beud,
'S cha reubar thu choidh' le m' lainn. —
Gu driiim Sheallama siaeana mo lamh ;
Tha 'n f hardach gun druim ach adhar 1
larram an sgia leathan gu hiosal ;
Barr mo shleagh bhuail a copan I —
'S a chopain èigheach nam blàr !
Is sàr-aoibhinn leom fathasd tfhuaim,
Tha e dùsga' nan làithe chaidh seach,
'S a dh' aindeoin aois tha m.' anam a' leumnaich. — -
Ach uam smuainte nam blàr,
'S mo shleagh air fas na luirg ;
An sgia chopach tuille cha bhuail i ;
Ach ciod so 'n fhuaim a dhuisg i?
Bloidh sgeith' air a caithe' Ic haois !
Mar ghealach earr-dhubh a cruth.
Sgia Ghuill 's i a t' ann,
Sgia chòlain mo dheagh Oscair !—
Ach ciod so chuir m' anam fo sprochd ?
'S trie, Oscair, a f huair-sa do chliu ;
Air còlan do ghaoil bidh fonn an tràs,
A Mhal-mhine le d' chlàr bi dlù *

Air long ea-trom nan garbh-thonn
Lean an sonn sinn an darat-mhaireach.
Ach CO sud air a charraig, mar cheo. y
