212 MODERN GAELIC BARDS.
D'a còrsa giirbh tha bèarnach, creagach, liath,
Thig gaoth thar sail le gàir o 'n àirde-'n-iar,
A' giùlan blàths is slàinte air a sgiath
'S glan fhianih do shiol nam beann.
Tha 'm fr;ioch gu bòidheach còmhdach slèibh is cruaich ;
Fìor shamhladh è 'na ghnè do 'n dream mn thuath:
So-lùbach, tlàth ; ach làidir, righinn, cruaidh,
'S cho buan ri luibh a th' ann.
An soillse 's gi'uaim tha tuar air tir mo speis,
Gun choimeas, grinn, nach cinn air dùthaich chèin :
Mar shùilean blàth mo ghràidh, fo dhèarrsadh grèin",
Mar ghnùis fir thrèin, fo ghreann.
Tog ort, a gheamhraidh chranndaidh, thar a' chuain ;
Teann thusa nall. a shamhraidh, 's ruaig e bhuainn ;
Tha miann mo chrìdh' air sgrìob a thoirt gu tuath,
Gu luath, an còir nan gleann.
C'ha 'n e Ceann-tìr, no He gorm an fheòir,
Druim-Albann àrd, Ceann-tàil, no 'n t-Eilean Leòbhas ;
Cha ghleimn, cha chrìoch, cha sgìre bheag no mhòr
Mu'm bheil mo cheòl 's mo rann ;
Ach Tìr nan treun, gii leir, o dheas gu tuath:
Gu 'm mair ar dìlse dhì-sf daingeann, biian ;
Gu 'n seas sinn dlùth a chum a cliù chur suas
Is buaidh dhi anns gach àm.
