Gach dreach 'th'air an nìonag, 0, 's deacair dhomh 'n innseadh
'Tha farasda, fìnealta, inntinneach, òg;
Mo rùn do chaol mhala, do mhiog-shuilean nieallach —
Deud geal 'n ad bheul tairis, gruaidh thana mar ròs.
Tha soirbheas air èirigh o bhruaillein nan speuran,
'Cur luingeas 'n an èiginn, 's a' reubadh nan seòl;
Cha 'n fhaodar leam aiseag, o 'n chaochail an latha —
Tha 'n caol 'n a chaoir gheala, 's muir ghreannach fo chròic.
Na'm biodh agamsa sgiathan, 's mi 'shracadh an iarmailt,
Ged a bhacadh gaoth'n iar mi, agus iarguil nan neòil,
Gu'm bithinn, 'cheart ain-deoin', ri guallainn mo leannain,
B' e m' ulaidh, a's m' aighear, 'bhi 'teannadh 'g a oòir !
DI-MOLADH AN UISGE-BHEATHA. ^
Leis an Lighiche Mac-Lachainn, nach maiheann.
AiR FoNN : — " Crodh-laoigh nain bodach."
Cha 'n òl mi deur tuille, deur tuille, deur tuille, —
Cha 'n òl mi deur tuille, deur tuille de 'n dram ;
Cha 'n òl mi deur tuille, cha dean mi ris fuireach,
'S nii cinnteach gu 'n cuireadh e 'n tubaisd am cheann.
Gur mis' tha gu brònach, am luidne 's tigh-òsda,
Mi 'teannadh ri òran le bòidean gu teann ;
Ag èirigh air m' uilinn, 's ag èigheach gu duineil —
" Cha 'n òl mi deur tuiUe, deur tuille de 'n dram."
'S tròm, èisleineach m' aigne 'n àm èirigh 's a' mhaduinn,
Mo bhriogais mu m' chasan 'g a tarruing a nall ;
Mo bhriogais 'n a stròicean, cha dean i mo chòmhdach —
'S e èigheach nan stòp 'chuir am pòca cho gann.
