i66 CATHULA,
Tha dhreach mar dhearg-thannas òiche
Tra bhios an fealgair fo oillt air ftucaibh,
Is briftear leis urfanna-catha
Mar lion dubhain-alluidh fan dùlach.

— Theich Sorcha Ie neoil na hòiche,
Mar lorg a luing' air aghaidh chuantai'n ;
Afuas an fgia, 's anuas an clàr,
A Sgara, biodh gàir air t òighean.
'S tha farum chlar is caithream bheul
An talla Sgara na fèile faoil ;
Tha 'n lann fan truaille *s an fgia na cadal
* Air bhalla, mar ghealaich dhuaichni.
— Tha 'n eilid ait air a carraig fein,
Is oighean aoibhin nan uineig ftuadhaich,
Tha ghrian aobhach, gun neul na dàil,
Ach 's e Cathuil grian àigh nan oighean.
— " Fonn air clar, is fonn air dàn,
Slan gu robh thu, 'righ na carraige !" \
Ach
* al. 'S an tfkach ris a bhalla gun ghluafad.
f This, of the maids of Icroma, appears to have been a
chorus*
