10 DAN AN DEIRG.
Dearg. — " Le tiilgadli tuinn' air mo luasgadh,
105 Bha mis' an oidhcli' fhuar sin gu latha ;
Seachd gealaich ('s gach aon mar bhliadhna)
Le 'n tràghadh 's le 'n lìonadh chaidh tharam.
Chaith mi 'n là ri mànran ciuil,
Ag èisdeachd nuallain thonn a 's ian ;
110 'S an oidhch' an tiamh-chòmhradh thaibhse,
'G èala' 'm fòill air eoin na tràghad.
'S neo-ghrad 's an àite so ghrian,
Is mall-cheumach triall na gealaich ;
A rìgh, a Chumhail, cha b' ioghnadh
115 Ge b' fhaide gach mìos na bliadlma ! —
Ach ciod so aobhar ur bròin ì
Chi mi ur deoii' a' sruthadh ;
An e mo sgeul truaghs' a dhùisg iad ?
Is cruaidh leam gur cùis is dubhaich —
120 Nach beò Cri-mora mo ghaoil?
Og-bhean chaoin, tha mise dubhach,
Bho chunnas thu seòladh nan nial,
A dh'iadh mu sholus na h-oidhche,
Tra dh'amhairc i nuas romh 'n fhrois
125 Air gnùis fhoisnich na doimhne.
Chunnas i air chaochladh dreach,
'S a ciabha clearc a' sileadh dheur ;
Dh' aithnich mi cruth mo ghaoil,*
'S an t-aobhar o'n chuan mu'n d'èirich.

130 Nach truagh leat mis', a Chrì-mora 1
