122 LAOIDH CHLANN UISNE
Bha chneas mar chobhar nan struth,
Bha mar uisge balbh a ghuth,
Do bha chridhe fearail, fial,
Agus aobhach ciuin mar a ghrian.
Ach 'n uair dh' eireadh a fhraoch is f hearg
Bi' clioimeas an fhairge gbarg,
B' ionnan agus neart nan tonn
Fuaim nan lann aig an t-sonn.
Mar reodhairt a bhuinne bhorb
Bha e 's an araich ri streup cholg
Am facas le Dearduil e an tus,
'S i 'g amharc bho mhullach an duin.
' lonmhuinn,' ors' an oig thlath,
' An t-aineol bho bhlar nam beud,
Ach is goirt le cridh' a mhathar
A dhainead ri uchd na streup.'
' A nighean Cholla nan sgiath/
Do radh Naois bu tiamhaidh fonn,
' Ge fada bhuainn Alba nam Fiann,
Agus Eite nan ciar aighe donn.'
