166 MODERN GAELIC BARDS.
DO 'M DHACHAIDH.
Melody by Iain Mac Cahim.
Mo bhothan beag lurach
Am fasgadh a bhruthaich,
0, 's mise nach d" thugadh air stòras e ;
Ged gheibhinn-se saoibhreas
Is tigh mòr na h-oighreachd
Cha 'u fhaighinn-se 'n sonas tha chùmhnuidh ann.
'Nuair bhios mi bho'n bhaile,
'S mi sgith a' tighinn dachaidh,
Mi fadalach, airsneulach aonarach ;
'Nuair ruigeas mi m' fhàrdach
'S a chi mi mo phàisdean,
Gach aon a' ruith ann am chùmhdhail dhiubh.
Is trie a tha 'n saoghal
Toirt «allach r'a shlaodadh,
Is cùram nach faoin a' dol còmhla ris ;
Ach sud leis a' ghaoith,
Gach cùram 's an t-saoghal,
'Nuair thig iad le faoilte thoirt pòige dhomh !
Mo bhean is i rem ham,
Le aoidh anns an dorus
A' sealltuinn an deighe a" chròilein ud ;
Ged 's fhada an liine
Bho'n sheòl i air tùs Ie;im,
Ar gaol tha cho ùr 's 'nuair a thùisich e.
