4 DAX AX DEIRG.
Grad-leumaibh tliar bàrra nan tonn,
Gu fonn an rìgli tha 'n a èigmn !"
25 'S bu gharbh an doinionn à deas,
A* gleachd r' ar siuil bhrèid-gheal,
Tra thaom an oidhche 'n ar còmhdhail
Air cuan dòbhaidh nan tonn beucach.
CuMHAL. — " Ciod am fàth bhi 'g udal cuain 1
30 A's eilean fuar nan geodha crom,
A 'sgaoileadh a sgiath 'n ar coineamh,
Gu'r dìon o dhoininn na h-oidhche.
Tha e crom mar bhogh' air ghleus ;
Tha e sèimh mar uchd mo ghaoil.
35 Caitheamaid an oidliche 'n a sgèith,
lonad èibhinn nan aisling caoin !"
'S chualas a' chomhachag à creig;
'S guth bròin 'g a freagairt à h-uaimh —
" Guth Dheirg," arsa Cumhal, ''' 's e th' ann !
40 A chaill sinn 's a' chuan onfliach,
Tra phill sinn o Lochlann nan crann,
'S gach doinionn gu teann 'g ar lèireadh.
Thog tuinn an cinn romh neoil ;
Dh' fhks slèibhte-ceò air lear ;
45 'S a' mhuir sholach mholach stua'ghlas,
A' luasgadh o noir gu 'n ear —
' A Dheii'g sin am bàrra nan crann,
Is ftinn an iall ris an d'earb thu ;
Mòr-bheinn cha 'n fhaic thu gu bràth !
50 Tha d'fhalt ànrach air tuinn 'g a luasgadh ;*
* AI. — " Dh'fholuich tonna bàite uainn thu."
