Oha V cìiLibaire 'ghoid ghearran mi;
Cha d'chuir mi uich "s an ealaidb siii:
Olia mho a chum e caithris .um

Do l)heal tha molacli feusagach,
Laa siijuig is uilc is reumaiinau;

"N deigh fuigheal creis nam bord.
An uair 'bu dluithe 'n aileag oit
Bu lionmh(;r cu is galla 'V)hiodh
A' tuirt nan siil "s nam mala dhiofc,
Le bruchdadh buladli fcoil.
A sheann-tuir leith nan ursannan
A's trie a dheabh na capachan.
'S tu 'd shineadli anns na gniteirean
An deigh do ghucag ol.
Cxur salchar lie is urlair thu,
Lan sgeig is uilc is iombasaich,
Mar bharaille 'n deigh a tliionndadh
A cur sgum gu barr-iall bhrog.
Ged s cam a staigh fo d' ghluinean thu.
Gur caime 'staigh fo d' shuiloan thu;
S tu tr^oitear nan seachd duehannan
A reic an erun air ghrot.
Droch eoinneainh ort., a shiochaire;
Mar caol a reiceadli d'fhirinn leat,
Airson na mine Litich sin,
Nach deach 'san ire ehoii.
Mi-'raltaeh for mi-ioraltach — not skill-
ful or prompt, not distinct in utterance.
