Tha do bhaintighearna ghaoil
Fo mhulad mu d' thaobh,
'S mor am beud nach bu shaor a duthich ;
Nighean Eachinn bho 'n chaol,
Aig am biodh an crodh laoigh,
'S cian 's gur farsuinn 'chaidh sgaoileadh cliu air.-
Ach na biomaid fo f hiamh,
Biodh ar dochas san Triath
'Tha uil'-f hiosrach a riaghladh chuisean.
'N uair a dh' eireas a ghrian,
Thig oirnn soinionn is fiath,
'S seolidh Ailain o 'n iar ga 'r n-ionnsidh.

No eich air fuaran nam beann,
Ach fior dhuin'-uasal gun mheang ;
'S mor tha 'dhith fear do rainn bhon dh' eug thu.
'S mor tha dhith, &c.
Bu duine macant' a bh' ann,
A bha seircail gun sgraing ;
Ach nan cuirteadh ris teann
Bh' aige tiiisneach is ceann ;
Bu tearc Gaidheal no Gall
'Bhuidhneadh cuis deth air laimh,
'Nuair a chuireadh e 'chainnt an geill daibh.
B' e sud am baile gun sunnd,
'S ceann na misnich san uir,
