Tha i 'g ioundrainu an diiilnaich
Bu laidir an iiruuigh, 's au gaol, —
A' ghuiiis ud a b' fliiuealt,
'M beul labhradh an fhiriun gu saor —
Sheas Eaglais a shiunsear,
'So shlighe na diiseachd nacli d' aoiu.
Tha i tuireadh Mhic-Bhridein,*
Sàr cheatharuach cinnteach gu leòir —
Bu mhòr aim an cridh' e,
B' iad comasau inntinu bha còrr ;
Bu mhòr e 'san fhiriun, —
Bu mhòr ann an diiseachd do 'n choir —
Bu mhòr, ach bu shiothchail ;
Bu gharg, ach bu mhin am fear mòr.
Cha bu tais e 'n am cruadail,
Oha bu tais e 'n am bhualadh nam beum ;
Ged bu tais ris an truaghan —
Ged bu tais e ri uanaibh an trend ;
A' chuilc a bha brtiite,
Au cridhe bha ciiiirte fo leòn ;
An lion air bheag smiiide —
Cha b' esan a mhtichadh le 'dheòin.
Ach Alastair Stiiibhairt^f
'S e do bhcàs-sa a chiur mi gu geur —
B' òg chaidh thu ri d' dhtichas,
'S cha d' chlaon uaith fad d' iune 's do re ;
Dheadh mhic an deadh athar,
Bu mhaitheasach tiathasach gnàs —
An teangair thug barrachd —
An diadhair bha pailt anns gach gràs.
* Mr. Peter M'Bride late of Rothsay.
l- Rev. Alex. Stewart, late of Cromarty, son of Dr. Stewart,
first of Moulin, in Athol, and latterly of the Cannongate,
