"S lùmh shèuut' thu na t-earradh,
'S ard iarras do dheannal,
'Sgriob dheuchain na gaillin,
Sion chal' gun bhàigh thu ;
'S deuchuineach sealladh
Air iarbliail do ghalair,
Cuirp lionmhor ri talamh,
Nan earruinnean geàrrte :
'S tùir' bhiatach tliu 'm fallaclid,
'S corn iatach na falla',
'S c lion an ni 'n t-annart,
Is stailceas fo làr iad.
liheir ioc-shlainnt' an caiman
Ceo fiamlia ga 'n dalladb,
A spianas bho 'n talamh,
Nan deannanan small iad.
Ge gruamach a sealladh.
l''o shuaicheatais ballach,
Mar bhualadh na mara,
Na falaisge Màirte,
Tha'ii suairceas 's an cenneal,
'S am boichead mar leannain,
A buaireadli nan caileag
'S am mealladh nam pàistean ;
Thcid Bainn-tighcarnan glana,
Dhe'ij cuimhne 's dlie'n aithne'
Cho cinnteach 's dh' amais mi,
'N eallaidh-sa r;iite,
'S biodh banntraichchean flicaraibh,
'S an clann air an dronnaig,
I>e geall an cuid ban,
A bhi falach fo' chàrn kibh.
Note — The above spirited song is tiow part)y freed from
the obscurity which characterized it in the author's own
collection— it will still, however, lasU the uenicrstaMilinB of
many reailcrs, but we could make no furllier einendations
without manifest danger to the structure of tlie piece.
'S mise smeòrach òg a ghrinnis,
Shèinnis ceol mar organ mills,
Feadan òrdail fo mo ribheid,
'S fead mo mheJ)ir air comhra filleant'.

Cha b' i crionach liath na mosgan,
Blio na shiolaich treud an fhortaiii,
Ach fiogh miath, nam miar, gun sociidli,
Geal mar ghrian, bho bhian lllogli Lonbl;
Ulibheag i )ia i ri, <^-c.
An caisteil ard dha'n làidir finno,
Ma'n iath pàrlamaid gun ghioraig,
Nach iarr bMgli an ;iite millidli,
A dhialadh bais gun stràe ga'm pillcadli.
Ulibheag i na i ri, S^c.
Ge do dh'eug e cha treig fhasan,
Cha toir streupa na geimh gaiseadh,
As na connspuinn eòlach, smaehdail,
Nach d'rinn ceo gun feoil a sliracluladh.

Gu'n dean glòir nan neòil a phasgadli,
'S nach bi comhra' fo shroin peacaicb,
Bithidh na Leodaich mar or daite,
Sheasas coir, 's nach fògair casgradli,
Ulibheag i na i ri, ^-c.
Ma thig tuir a choir na h-aitribh,
Tlu'id an connspuid air shcòil gaisgidh,
Siiapach, òrdach, tòiteach, speachdach,
Naisgear fcòil do dh' coin an achaidh.
Uliblicag i na i ri, .^c.
Theid an tarbli fo clialg na maise,
I.e shròl balla-bhreac, ri goala ghasan,
Nach leig carabal gu fall.h dhathaigh,
Gu'ni bi 'n aiiauian balbli fo chasiiii.
Ulihheag i na i ri, i^f.
'S lannach, liobhacli, disiicach, claiseach,
Meachair, fiiicalt', rimhach, laisde,
Na brais phriseil, o'n tir fhasgach,
Nach leig cios le strj, na foaclidaibh.
