Air inullach shleibhte num beaiiritaibb mor,
'S gun bhi ga 'r ii-eisdeachd ach eoiu an tsleiblie,
'S gu'n tugainu fheiu di na ceudan pog.
Thug mi corr agu.s naoi niiosan,
Anns na h-Innsean a b' fhaide thall ;
'S bean boidhchead d' aodainn cha robh ri f haotainn :
'Sged gheibhiun saor iad cha'n fhanainn ann.
Thug mi mios ann am fiabhrus claoidhte,
Gun duil rium oidhche gu'm bithinn beo ;
B'e fath mo smaointean a la 's a dh oidhche.
Gu 'm faighinn fi^ochadh a's tu bhi 'm choir.

A's tha do sbuileau gu meallach, gorm ;
Is tu bean-uasal is grinne dh' f huaigheas ;
'S an ris a fhuair thu do thogail og.
Cha bhi mi 'strith ris a' chraoibh nach lub learn
Ged bhiodh?ubhlan air bharr garb geig ;
Mo shoraidh slan leat ma rinn thu 'm fhagail —
Cha d' thainig traigh gun mhuir-lan na deigh.
Note. — The above is one of the most popular of our Highland Melodies. It is un-
doubtedly very old, and, bt) far as I know, its author is quite uaknown. There is nothing
particuhirly worthy of remark about the words, which appear to have suffered in their
transmission to us. — W. M'K.
