Ged nach d' f huasgail mo dheòir.
Thàinig sgeula mo chruadail,
Gu 'n do chuir iad 's an uaigh thu ;
'S goirt mo chridhe bho 'n chuala,
Ged nach d' f huasgail mo dheòir.
Tha do leaba lorn, fuaraidh,
'S trom do chadal, 's ro bhuan e ;
Chaoidh cha 'n eisd thu ri m' luaidh-
'S cha ghluais thu ri m' cheòl.
Bha do ghluasad gun eucoir,
Gun uireasbhuidh ceille ;
Learn bu taitneach 'bhi 'g eisdeachd
Ri seisde do bheùil.
Tha do bheul a nis dùinte,
Cha 'n 'eil leirsinn 'n ad shùilibh ;
'S fuar an cridhe 'bha mùirneach,
Anns an ùir, 's e gun deò.
Mar bhuannaich am bàs thu
Seach na dilsean 'tha làthair,
Cinnidh feanntag 's a' ghàradh,
'Nuair thig fàilinn 's an ròs.
