AN ROIMH RADH.
Ged 's soilleir a ceum sa' bharrach,
Cha leir dhuit fathast a snuadh.
An saoil thu, na suilean dalla
Tha duint' do shealladh as àird',
Mur faic iad na dùilean tharainn,
An sgriad iad anam a' bhaird ?
An t-anam sin fein a sheallas
O neamh gu aigeal a' chuain,
'S a chunnaic sa' cheum fo d' chasan,
An seud a shnasaich a dhuain ;
A chruthaich dhuit neamh nam flaitheas,
A neulaibh tana na smuain,
'S a shuidhich air leus 's air faileas,
Bonn-stèidh na dh'aidich thu buan :
Biodh agadsa spèis d' a ealain,
Le sèisd a rannan ad chluais;
Ma 's airidh an sgeul air aithris,
'S tu fein a mhealas an duais.
