106 FOLK TALES AND FAIRY LORE.
Hug O! gu h-ai reach
Bha mnathan a' bhaile,
Hug O ! gu h-aireach
Gu snigheach, galach,
Ag caoidh an leinibh,
A' falbh na coille,
'S an ciochan geala
Ag call a' bhainne.
M' ulaidh agus m' aoibhneas,
*S e do ghoid a rinn mi
Air a' mheadhon-oidhche,
Gun choinneil no gun choinnleir,
Gun solus no gun soillse.
Tha thu agam o 'n uraidh,
'S gur tu m' ulaidh.
Bidh tu 'm bliadhna gu h-ùr uallach
Air mo ghualainn feadh a' bhaile,
'S tu mo leanabh mileiseach, maileasach.
Glag fo lùirich!
'S tu ceann-feadhna
Nan each snàgach.
'S tu mo leanabh
Ruiteach, reamhar;
Mo shult is m' fhiughair,
Mo luachair bhog,
Am bi m' aighear.
'S truagh nach fhaicinn fhein do bhuaile
Gu h-àrd àrd air leacainn sleibhe
Còta caol, coilearach, uaine,
Mu do ghualainn agus lèine.
'S truagh nach fhaicinn fhein do sheisreach,
Fir 'na deidh 'cur an t-sil ;
'S Mac-Comhnuill le 'chrann-treabhaidh
'S a charbad ann cuide ribh.
