ORAIN
B' iomadli fear-cleòc' agus Aibid,
Bha cliòta cho fliiich r'a chais'eart,
Fòghlum an t-snàmh' nach robh aige;
Air an aigeal luidh iad air ghur.
Cha robh daol^a' faochnadh an cuirp;
Oii' bha 'n aodach caol agus tiugh;
Ni nach b' ioghnadh, 'aognuidh 's e fliuch.
Là eil' ann an Coille-chnagaidh,
Dh' fhalbh Mac-Aoidh 's gu'n d' fhàg e ^hhaggwje
B' fheumail an gniomh rinn an t-each dha,
Aii- na bh' aige chuir e droch bhuil.
B' iomadh sonn a b' fhonn'oii-e guth,
Bh'air Raon-Ruairidh 's fuaran o'n cuh'p,
Cinn 'us gruagan luidht' aim am fuil.
Là eil' ann an Sliabh an t-Siorraim,
Cùis an àir a dh'àraich tioma,
Thuit Ailean an neart an teine;
Leomhann smearail 's b'fhearail a chruth.
'S truagh an tòrachd 'thàinig thar muir,
Dh' fhàg sid leòinte 'stigh sinn 's a muigh;
Nis, sinn stòldà 's còii' dhuinn bhi sgur.
AN GLEANN 'SAN ROBH MI OG.

'N uair phUleas ruinn an samhradh,
Bi'dh gach doire 's crann fo chròic,
Na h-eòin air bhàrr nam meanglan,
Deanamh caithream bhinn le'n ceòl,
