Anns a mhias fhaoilidh mhai,
Seinnidh lanliath gu h-aiUt' a ceol .
Fasaidh coille fo bhlath
S iomadh nì' bha ri bas thig beò.
So an t-am san taobh-tuath,
'Sam bi saighd'earan suaint an ait,
Tha fo bhratach an uain,
Tighinn a chruinneachadh sluaigh gu chaisg.
An Co-sheirm ris na h eoin,
Sinidh 'm pobuU air ceol a sheinn ;
Cuid le cridheachan leoint',
'S cuid le cridheachan feol' ge binn :
Cuid 's iad ionan 's gun deo,
Anns an d' tig anam beò ri linn,
A theid dachaidh fo bhròn,
S aig 'm bi sonas ri 'm beo g' a inns',
Aig an t shacramaid naomhs',
Chi sinn toradh a ghaoil fo bhlath.
'S cuid aig peacadh air thaod,
'S e 'g an tarraing na'n caoirr o shlaint.
Chi sinn cuid laidir òg,
Kinn an ciontan dhiubh, deoir na 'n tuar.
'S cuid le aois bhios gun treòir,
'S iad mar staillin fo'n òrd 's i fuar.
B'aithne dhasan gach doìgh
Ann an cridh' bha leoint' no maoth,
'S le cainnt mhiUs a bheoil
Thigeadh frasan a gloir mar bhraon :
'Bha so taisbeant' an deoir,
'S bha e soiUeir am bron maraon,
S thug e toradh gach lo,
'S thug e sonas us beo dhaibh 'gaol.
