Ach ciod e fàtli an fliògraidli ghe'ir ?
An d'fhuaradh ciontach sinn 'am beud ?
No 'n do thoiU sinn gràin an righ,
'Nuair nach feud sinn tàmli 'n ar tìr ?
R uimi cha'n flieudar sin a luadh,
Bha simi riamh a' triall 'an naill ;
'S ged a thàinig sinn fo thùir,
Cha b' e ar coire b' aobhar dha :
Acli stiochd ar treun air caochladh nòis,
An gaol d' an càirdibh thug do'n ùr ;
An uaill cha'n'eil an laochraidh threun,
Tha reaclid san àm 'gan dion o bheud.
Ach feudaidh caochladli teachd ri àm,
'S gu'n iarrar sinn air feadh nam beann •
Ach beann no gleann cha toir a h-aon
A leanas àrmuim dh' ionnsuidh 'n raoin,
Aonaranach, fann, gun treòir,
Bithidli gach triath gun dàimli 'na chòir,
Tre'igear e le brosgul baoth
Nan gealtair cealgach ghlac a mhaoin ;
Tre'igear e 'na àmhghar geur,
Gun aon r'a thaic d'a chinne fe'in :
Fada, fada, thall thar chuan,
Sgaoilte gheibh e 'm fuigheall truagh.
Chi e'n sin le deòir 'na shùil,
Am beud a chinnich leis an tùs,
'Nuair a dli'fliògair e o 'sge'ith,
Na laochraidh b' flièarr a bha fo'n ghre'in.
Ach ged a shil an deòir gach ial,
Aon cha tig a chaoidh g'an dion :
Is cuimhne leò gach cràdh a's spid,
A dli' fhuiHng iad mun d'fhàg an tir.
