2& DAN an DEIRG.
* Sgeula Mbor-ghlain is Mhirfonn.
Co fo tuirling o'n cheo,
'S a' dòrtadh a leoin air a ghaoith ?
O ! 's domhain a chreuchd tha na chliabh,
'S is doilleir am fiadh ud r'a thaobh !
Sud taibhfe Morghlain na mais*,
Triath Shli'ghlais nan ioma' fruth ;
Thainig e gu Mor-bheinn le ghaol,
Nighean Shora bu chaoine cruth.
Thog efan ra'r n aonach gun bhàigh.
Is Min'onn dh' fhag e na tigh ;
Thuirling dall-cheo le òiche nan nial,
Dh' èigh na fruthaidh ; — fhian na taibhfe.
Thug an og-bhean fail ris an tfliabh,
Is chunnacas lè fiadh ro'n cheo ;
Tharruing i 'n tfreang le rogha beachd ;
— Fhuaras an gath an uchd an oig !

* The epifode of Morgan and Minona goes under thir,
