t AN T-EILEANACH.
Air oidhche Dhi-sathuirn' bidh caithream 'us ceòl ann,
Si'iisdeadh 'us satadh, gu maduinn Di-dònaieh,
Oha 'n ioghnadh an rioghaclid so idir bhi bronach,
Ma tha uibhir 'g an leon 's an Soudan dhinn.
Ma tlièid mi 'n tigh-òsda bidli stop aig na cailleachan,
Suidhe aig bord ann, ri moran do sheanachas,
A'càineadh nan daoin' ac' 's a' caoineadh an seana-mhathar,
'Us cosdaidh iad aivgiod gun taing ann.
Bidh bean 's i gun chais'eavt m' an stairsnicli 's giùig oirr'
Pàisde na h-aclilais 'dh 'f bag altruni crùbach,
"Us fain' air a' cborraig 'us fhaisg' air a liidaig, —
'S mar'aisg air iimpaidh chuir ann e.
<lu' n tog i mo mhi-thlachd 'n uair chi mi air sraid i,
'S dosan a cinn 's nach robh cir 'o chionn ràtbaidh,
Dheanadh e peallan domh 'thearradh a' bhàta,
'Thoirt oirre 'bhi deàrrsadh 'san t-Samhradh.
Ach ni mi an litir so nis a cho-dhiinadh,
Beannachd gu Lachunn, gu Ailein, 's gu Diighall,
'S innsidh tu dh' Iseabal mise 'bhi 'n dùrachd
Gu 'n crioch'naich i 'chùbln-ainn roimh Bhealltuinn.
