AM FEAR-CIUIL. 125
THA MO GHAOL-SA MAR AN ROS.
" My love is like a red red roseP
O, tha mo ghaol-sa mar an ròs,
'S an òg-mhios fo ìir bhlàth ;
O, tha mo ghaol-sa mar an ceòl
Is bòidhche fonn air chlàr ;
Cho maiseach thu, mo chailin chiùin,
'S cho trom mo ghaol 's cho buan,
'S nach trèig gu bràth mi fein mo ghràdh,
Ach gus an tràigh an cuan.
Ach gus an tràigh an cuan, a ghaoil,
'S an teid 'nan caoran dearg
Gach creag is sHabh mu 'n iadh a' ghrian,
Do ghaol am chHabh cha searg ;
Ach soraidh slàn le 'm chailin mhàld',
Ceud soraidh slàn 's an uair,
Ach thig mi rìs ged robh an t-slìgh'
Deich mile mhìltean buan.
