TIOMNA GHUILL
Cao'inn iad, 's gun laoch a' faicinn
Gorm-lafair nan lochran aillidh,
A Ghaothain nan folus aigh,
Tha do lochrains' an tràfa fo fmal ;
Amhuil darag air criona gu luath
Tha do phaiìlinn, 's do fhluagh air treigfinn.
Soir na liar air aghaidh taonaich
Cho 'n fhaighear do aon diu ach làrach ;
An * Seallama, 'n Taura no 'n Tigh-mor-ri'j
Cha 'n 'eil flige, no oran, no clarfach !
Tha iad uile nan tulachain uaine,
'S an clacha nan cluainibh fein,
Cha 'n fhaic aineal o 'n lear no o'n fhàfaich
A haon diu 's a bharr ro neul.
'S a Sheallama, theach mo ghaoil !
An e 'n torr fo taos-larach,
Far am bheil foghnan, fraoch, is fòlach,
Ri bròn fo mile' na hòiche ?
Mu thimchioll mo ghlas-chiabhan
Ag iadha' tha chomhachag chorr,
F 2 'S an
* Seallama, " a beautiful view ;" Taura, " a houfe on
the fea-coafl ;" Tigh-mor-ri\ " a royal palace ;" the naxtieE
of fpme of Fingal's places of refidence.
