A fhnamhas air bharraibh na'ni beanii,
Nuair choidleas a ghealach foi fliuain,
'S chrathas gaillinn clocha trom,
'8 fiamh eagail air rinneag na'n flon ?
Crathaidh a mhadain a ceann f<xn Ear,
'.S eirigh a Ghrian le cuach-fhok ciuin,
Biaidh folus a gatli air gacli fgiath,
'S Bas ag gearradh airm gach fuinn.
Ag cuir air gach igiath* Dunairm,
Dubhairt Mor-fhoir, 'fuir'gheadh gach laoch
Air an tog lamh iiihin-ghcal leac,
Ach kiidhidh mife nochd air fraoch.
Cha bhi deur air gruaidh am dhiaidh,
Cha 'n eirich cloch mo chliuth,
Cha 'n abair athair, mo mhac,
No gruagach, mo chreach, mo ruin !
Loit mo lliaighead uchd na Rimhin
Bha t!achd-mhor thair mhile mnaoi,
Tha fuil mo chairdin ag cuir Imuid

Dh' eirich Albain air barr tuinn
'S chrath gach dair an ciabh le failt',

Le chratha niin roimh cheaun ar bare.
