AM FEAR-CIUIL.
Saoilidh mi, an creideamh breun sin,
Nach 'eil feum a bhi 'ga luaidh.
Am Bard.
Tha thu ceart, cha 'n 'eil mòr èifeachd
Dhuit-sa èisdeachd ris a' chòrr ;
Ach 's ceann-teagaisg dhuit na leugh mi,
Ghabhas leudachadh gu leòir.
Na bi thusa deas a dhìteadh,
H-uile ni nach tuig thu fein ;
Cha do rinneadh breitheamh dhiotsa,
Air gach diomhaireachd fo 'n ghrèin :
Seall mu 'n cuairt ort air an lanntair,
'S cuir 's a' chainnt as maith leat fein,
Maise shonraicht' beinne 's còmhnaird,
Oraichte le glòir na grein' :
As an àite bheil thu coimhead,
Sgaoilt' fa d' chomhair, dhuit is lèir,
Uile rioghachdan an domhain, —
Muir is monadh, 's neamh nan speur.
Cha do thaghadh riamh a' chlach so,
Air son altair, ach le sùil
A bha leis an spiorad deachdte,
'S anam beachdail air a cùl ;
Anam a bha stri ri èirigh,
Thun an Dè a dhealbh e'n tùs ;
Anam nach deach riamh a thasgadh,
Leis an anart anns an ùir.
