AM FEAR-CIUIL. 95
Is gèiread an guidheachan ;
Mu dheireadh, thug e sgeul dhuinn
Air euchdan Chuchullainne;
Is chuir e fein gu gleusda,
An Fhèinn air a h-uiHnn duinn :
Fionn is Oisean, GoU is Oscar,
'S Conan crosda, curanta ;
Gun tàmh, gun chlos, a' sgoltadh chorp,
'S Lochlannaich a' cumail riu ;
Air muir 's air tìr, a rogha sìd,
A ghnàth a' strì ri cuideigin ;
Mar gheibh sibh anns an fhìrinn,
Mar sgrìobhas Mac Mhuirich i.
Thuirt Bean-an-tighe chùirteil,
'S i stiùradh an rathaid dhuinn,
"Tha bòrd na suipeir cùirnicht,
Is dùth dhuibh bhi fannachadh."
Lean mise sìos gu dlùth i,
'S mo shùilean 'g a beannachadh,
Air son bhi fialaidh, fiùghail,
Tha chù-se ro aithnichte :
Fhir na Gealaich ! sin an sealladh
Thug a phlathadh m' anail uam ;
Bric le 'n lannair as an abhainn,
Bradain agus gealagan ;
Eoin gun airceas, geòidh is cearcan,
'S pailteas de gach annas ann ;
Bha muilt-fheoil 's mairt-fheoil ròiste,
Bu leòir air son banais e.
