Feadh na diitlicLa Iha sgeula
'Rùisg mo theudan gu carachadh ;
Mheudaicli m' airsneal is in' eislean
Bho 'n la tlireig ar ceann-ealaidh sinn.
Air an ratliad gu d' cheile
Bhuail au t-eug a glieui'-sbaigliead ort j
Mionaid dalach cha d' fliuair thu
Thug e bhuainn gu ro-ealamh thu.
Bha thu furanach, càirdeil
Ris gach Gàidheal 'fhuair sealladh ort ;
Mu 'n do ghluais thu thar sàile
Fhuair thu tàlantan 's lean iad riut.
Cha b' e 'm fuidheall bho 'n d' fhàs thu
Ach an t-sàrfhuil ghlan Leathanach;
Dream a sheasadh an làrach
Mar àrd-ghàradh, gun taiseachadh.
Bu leat toiseach a chomhraidh
Anns gach còmhdhail 's an tachradh tu ;
B' ullamh deas bha dhuit briathran,
'S tu nach iarradh r'an ceannacli iad :
Oilbheum ealamh cha b' fhiach leat
Ged-a b' easgaidh do theanga dhuit ;
Baigheil caoimhnei], mar 'dh' iarrteadh
Bha thu riamh ris ejach nineolach.
