sgeula na doruinn :
Sgeula bròin e do-labhairt :
Bhuille ghoirt sin a leòn iad,
Ann am mor-bheinn us machair,
An latha dh' f holaich am fòd,
An airde ghloire 's neart e,
Mar ni reothadh air blaithean
Ann an ailleachd am maise.
Ah ! a bhochdanan trugha
Chuir na h-uabhraich gu ainis,
A chuir fortan gu tuath bhuaith' ;
'Us chuir fuachd oirbh 's acras,
Shibhs' nach uiTain a phaidheadh.
Tearc am mal air an latha,
Co a nis a ni baigh ridh
Ann an aite nur caraid ?
Co a nis a ni èisdeachd
Ris gach èigin a th' agaibh ?
Co a nis am fear eudmhor
Gus an eigin a chasgadh ?
Co a chumas bho 'n treud sibh
Leis am b' èibhneas na creacheadh ?
nach mairean an treun-f hear.
Bha na sgèith dhuibh, 's na chlaidheamh.
Sibh mar pharanfan aosmhor,
'S a mac-gaol doibh na bharant,
Air na leag iad an dochas,
Gu ma sholas e 'n tasgeadh :
Us iad gu'n churam gu brath,
Ma eudach, mal agus aran,
Thainig lìtir am mareach,
Sgeula-bhais, 's bha iad falaimh.
