DEARG MAC DRUPBHEIL. 237
Air tuilteach gaoithe fgaoil i fgiathan,
Ach leum an ciar-mheann fo gheugaibh.
Sheas Conn na aite fein
Mar thannas air Lèana fan òiche,
Tra èideas e bhuill le dealan an adhair
A ghios a chatha na bhoifge.
< — B' amhuil Conn 's a Ihloigh ga threigfinn,
Lean e fein iad mall is gruamach.
Dà uair phill e fan ag
Mar fhruth Balbh' a' ftad an imcheift.
Ach fuil gan d' thug e ri Athair afuas,
Chunn' e ghruag dhearg fan tuil,
An claidhe fathafd na leth laimh,
A gheug an fàs fan laimh eile.
Gu grad thug e Athair gu lhliabh,
Bu tiamhaidh fuaim a chaoi 's a lùirich.
Phill finne gu Fionn gu caoin,
Chòlaich caochan linn fan Ion,
Ionnfui thug Curach gu leum,
Ach thuit air a fgei mhoir.
— Tha 'n fruth a' dire' r'a bhrollach leonta
t§ a' crònan feadh bholg a fgeithe.
