COILLE-CHROIS.
LE EACHANN MAC-LEOID.
M' ionmhuinn is m' annsachd thu is mo thlachd,
Dha 'n dug mi toirt !
Cha n-aichainn do 'n chleir nach deaninn stad J^
An coill sin Chrois.
'S binn cruit cheolar is clarsach cheart,
'S piob le 'cuid dos,
Ach 's binne na h-eoin a seinn mu seach
An coill sin Chrois.
'Dh-aon innleachd de 'n d' f huaradh am mach
Gu 'r dion bho 'n olc
'S fearr dubhar nan craobh le smaointinn cheart
An coill sin Chrois.
Ged bhiodh tu gun f hradharc, gun luth nan cas,
'Ad dheoiridh bochd,
Nam bu mhath leat do shlaint' thilleadh air ais,
Ruig coill sin Chrois.
Aig ailleachd a luis, misleachd a meas,
'S feabhas a bhlais,
Cha n-iarradh tu sholas, nam biodh tu glic,
Ach coill sin Chrois.
