18 GAELIC AND ENGLISH POEMS.
Ma threig tliu gu buileacli iad,
Gu speis 'thoirt do'n cliruinneig so,
Cha'n 'eil i idir boidheach,
'Us tlia i gann de dh-fhùghlnni,
'XJs cha'n 'eil aon ni corr aic'
De dh-eolas no 'bhiinailtas.
Cha'n 'eil air a bnailidh,
Crodh druimionn no crodh guaillionn,
'S cha'n 'eil i de shliochd uaislean —
'S 'de 'bhnaidh oirre chunnaic thu Ì
Tha sgeula anns, etc.
Gur mor a tha de ghruaman
Air uaislean 's air cumanta ;
'Am follais 'us 'an uaigneas,
Tha'n sluagh uile bruidbinn ort,
Thu 'chromadh sios cho fuath'sacb,
A thogail ni cho suarach,
'S gur h-iomadaidh bean-uasal
A bheireadh luaidh le furan dhut.
Tha tàmailt na dunach
Air do chàirdean bu duineile,
'S do njiimhdean 'g iarraidh fàth
Air 'bhi 'gaireachdaich umadsa.
Mu'm faca tu'n cailin ud,
O, 's oil learn nach do thachair e,
Thu sheoladh do dh- Australia,
Ged 'b'fhad thu gun tilleadh as.
Tha sgeula anns, &c.
'Fhir mhoir a' bhroillich àluinn,
Air sràid gur h-e'n cuiridh thu ;
'S bho'n 's til mo charaid' bàigheil,
'S e 's dan domh 'bhi duineil riut ;
'S na'm faicinn air do shealbh te
'N uair rachadh i 'ad charbad,
Gu'm biodh tu 'd chulaidh-fharmaid,
Gu dearbh bhithinn sulasach.
Na' n taobhadh tu ri guamaig
Le meas, 'us maise, 's uaisle,
Ri faicinn ri do ghualainn,
Ma threig tliu gu buileacli iad,
Gu speis 'thoirt do'n cliruinneig so,
Cha'n 'eil i idir boidheach,
'Us tlia i gann de dh-fhùghlnni,
'XJs cha'n 'eil aon ni corr aic'
De dh-eolas no 'bhiinailtas.
Cha'n 'eil air a bnailidh,
Crodh druimionn no crodh guaillionn,
'S cha'n 'eil i de shliochd uaislean —
'S 'de 'bhnaidh oirre chunnaic thu Ì
Tha sgeula anns, etc.

Air uaislean 's air cumanta ;
