Leis an roth sin a thilg sinn,
Co 'tha liosrach no cinnteacb,
Nach faodamid direadh gu foil?
T)\i fhaodadh has nan triuir Lachinn,
'S an aon bhliadhna 'rinn tachirt,
•'Ohur an geill gun robh n car so 'nar coir.
Car de charibh an t-saoghil
Gu de a bhrigh 'bhi caoineadh,
S gearr an uair gus an caochail sinn fod.
Ged tha 'n staid so ro dhuilich
Gidheadh 's feudar a fulang;
'S trie an silean a cruinneachadh poir.
'S iomadh craobh 'chaidh a gearradh
Cheart cho iseal s an talamh
As an siolaicheadh faillean is meoir.
'Fhir tha dhuinn ann at athair,
Tha ar duil ann ad nihathas,
'Nis on fhuaradh leinn crathadh na 's
leoir;
'Fhir a chlaoidh sinn le anradh
A mhuir-lain is an traghidh,
Seid deagh shoirbheas do ghrais ann ar
seol.
'Fhir a leag sinn gu h-iseal,
Tha sinn uil' ort a griosadh,
Tog a suas sinn mar chitear gu d' ghhjir.
Tha ar cridheachan craiteach,
Tha sinn muladach sarichte,
Chuireadb bior ann am airnibh "s mi og.
