AN T-EILEANACII.
LITIR EOGHAIN GU CHAIRDEAN ANNS AN
EILEAN MHUILEACH.
Air Fonx : — " Dòmhmdl an dannsair."
Seisd. — A chuideachd mo gliaoil 'tha tobh na tuinne,
Fo dhubhar nan craobh, fo bhraou an duillich,
A còmlmuidli ri'r taobh cha'n fhaod mi faireachd,
Ach sgriobbaidh mi thugaibh mar gheall mi.
'S e gainne na h-oibre 'us lughad a' phàigheadh,
Daoiread an f heai-ainn 'us togail nam màl —
'S nacb taobhadh an sgadan Loch-Leamban mar b'àbhaist,
Ohuir mise bhi 'n dràsd air a' Ghalldachd.
A' cumail ri m' ghealladh am facal no dlià,
Gu 'n toir mi sgeul aitbgheàrr air fasain an àite,
A mheud's a th'air m'inntinn cha'n innsinn gu bràth
Air eagal gu 'n sàraich am peann mi.
Na h-ionagan boidheach bha òg anns an sgoil learn
(xed tliig iad am chòmliail ga'n deoin cha dean sodan,
A falbh air an t-sràid 's gur h-àrd bhios an dosan,
'S iad seachad 'n uair nodas iad ceann rium.
Tha gis'a tha fuasach air gruagaichean Ghlaschu,
Cha chreideadh sibh bhuam e ged bhuailinn air aithris,
Cha 'n urrainn na ciadan diu 'n ciabhag a thachas,
Tha 'n làmhan an ceangal 's an dolman.
