342 BAS AIRT.
Threig Calmar is Art maraon ;
*S truagh gun mife fan aon leabai !
Gun mhac am feafgar m' aoife
Mar dharaig na h aonar air Meallmor.
— Thig an ofag o'n fhireach 's o'n fhàfach
'S cha feid a hàile mo dhuilleach uaine.
—Thig frafachd a cheituin o'n fpeur,
Ach cha 'n f haicear mo gheug-fa fo bhlàth,
Dealraidh a ghrian ro' bhraon an druchd,
Ach cha 'n ùraich mo gheug-fa gu bràth.
Am fhalt a deir guth na sine,
Bidh Ardar iofal gu gairid ;
Ach aon folas tha uam an dràs,
Innis Armainn mar thuit mo leanabh ?
" Cha do thuit e gun chliu fan àraich,
Bu ghàbhaidh le moran imeachd,
Mar thorunn ro' choillte, no mar dhealan,
Ga fhalach an deigh an leir-fgrios.
Chrithich, theich, is thuit na nàimh,
Bha fgrios o laimh Airt gan ruaga,
Mar fgarnaich Mheall-mhoir a' ruith ro' choillte,
'S ga falach an linnte dorcha :
