TUITEAM AN DUINE.
Ach meas craoibh' an eolais ;
Tha doruinn ami 's bas.
Thuirt Dia ruinn na h-ithibli
De 'n mlieas sin gu brach ;
Thig sgrios air bhnr n-anam
Ma bheanas sibh dha.
Am meas sin tlia ceutach
'Us fen.mai] 's gach doigh.
Gacli aon de a dh'itheas
Glieibh fiosrachadh mor,
'S bidli ard mar na diatlian
'Tha 'riaghladh an gloir. —
Cha 'n f liaicear am bas leibli ;
Gu brach bidh sibh beo.
Le 'chomhairlean chlaon i
Is dh'aom i na 'cridh' ;
De mheas na craoibh thoirmisgt'
Gu dahna ghabh i.
D' a fear thug i pairt dheth,
Gun sgàth oirr' a ni,
'S ghabh esan a laimh e,
Gun chuimhn' air a High.
Nis chain iad an ailleachd,
An slainte 's an sith.
Bu leir dhaibh an goraich',
Bha'n solas aig crich ;
Air olc bha ac' eolas
'S air doruinn na'n cridh',
Leum naire na'n aodann,
Bha aodach 'gan dith.
