GHAIDHEALACH.
Xar a ineal iiii mo chòta
Mai- b'e mn dheòin a bhi làmh viut,
'8 a bhi brìndal ri 'm leannan,
A'n seòmar daingean na clàraidh,
An iuchair fhaotainn 'am phòca,
'S gun an tnir a l)lii làmli ruinn,
'S mi gu'n deanadh dn iihògadh.
Gun fheòi-aich de m' chàirdean.
Gun fheòraich de m' chàirdean,
'S fad' a dh' fhalbhainn a' d' chninneabh,
Far an deanainn riut còdhail
Cha bhithinn beò gun a cumail :
Tha mo dhùil anns a' mhaighdinn
Nach trèig do chaoimhneas mi uile ;
'S mar do ohaochail thu àbhaist
Gheibhinn t' fhàilt' agus t' fhuran.
'S e t' fhuran a leòn mi.
'S a dh' fhàg am bròn so air m' aigne,
A thromaich m' inntinn fo èislein,
Cha dean mi èiridh an gradaig ;
Tha mo chridhe neo-shunndach,
Tha mi brùite fo m' aisnean,
Aig a' mheud 's thug mi ghaol duit,
'S nach fhaod sinn 'bhi tachairt.
Nach faod sinn bhi tachairt
An àite falaioh no 'n uaigneas,
Far an deanainn riut beadradh,
A's tacan cleasaohd air uairean ;
Ach 's e lagaich mo mhisneach
Nach fhaod mi tric 'bhi mu 'n cuaii-t dhuit
B' fheàrr a phòg na 'bhi falamh
Mar am faigh mi do bhuanachd.
