MALCOLM MAC FARLANE. 217
Bha m' aigne gu fann
Air talamh nan (xall,
Gun ise bhi aim fo 'ni shùil,
Caomhag nam beus
D" an d' thug mi mor spèis :
Co giieal I'is a' ghiein a cliù.
Bruadair an raoir —
Mi 'laighc 'san fhraoch,
'Nam aonar aig taobh a' chùirn,
A' feithtamh mo ghràidh,
'S i 'tighinn 'nam dhàil —
'S e neai'taich mo chàil as ùr.
Na 'n robh mi mar eun,
Gu 'n siùbhlainn troimh 'n speur
Air sgiathaibh bu deine lùgh,
Gun mhoille, gun tàmh ;
'S 'nuair niiginn a làth'r,
Gu 'm fiUinn mo ghràdh rium dlùth.
Na 'ra faighinn mo mhiann,
Gu 'm bithinn 'nam thriath,
'S gu 'n togainn air sliabh mo dhùn ;
Gu 'n riaghlainn ri m' bheò
An Eilean a' cheò ;
'S 'gam chòmhmidh bhiodh òigh mo ruin.
Gu 'n trusainn an sluagh
Do 'n fhearann mu 'n cuairt,
'S gu 'm fògrainn gach uail o 'n ùir ;
'S gu 'm fàgainn do m' ghràdh
Bhi leigheas gach cràidh
Le solus caomh, blàth a gnùis.
