AM FEAR-CIUIL. 17
Am Bard.
Cha 'n 'eil feum agad air fàidhean,
Chaidh an làithean-san air chùl ;
Ach cha d' chaochail tuigse nàdurr',
Is cha d' fhàilnich sealladh sùl ;
Beachdaich air na chluinn 's na chi thu,
'S thig am mìneachadh 'na am ;
'S creid mi, cha 'n 'eil ni gun bhrlgh ann,
Biodh e dlreach dhuit no cam.
An Ciobair.
Ged a dh' fhaodas beagan fìrinn,
Bhi 's an ni a tha thu *g ràdh ;
'S eagal leam nach tuig gu dilinn,
Mise ni dheth ach mar thà :
Tha mi siubhal o thùs m' òige,
Beinne 's còmhnaird gach aon là,
Ach an diugh, cha 'n 'eil sud dhòmhs',
Ach beinn is còmhnard mar a bhà ;
'N carragh ris a bheil mo thaice,
'S tric thug fasgadh dhomh o'n t-sìon ;
Ciod a th' agams' ann ri fhaicinn,
Ged a bheachdaichinn gu sìor?
Am Bard.
Na 'm bu lèir dhuit, tha 's a' charragh
Sgeul nach fhaigheadh tu air fèiU ;
Is nam b' aithne dhòmhs' a haithris,
Chuirinn earrann di an cèiU.
