B' amhuil ceum an laoich tha iofal,
Mun d' thain' an tfaighead fan tsìn dòbhidh."
Is ait, a mhic Armainn, do fgeul,
Amhuil reul an duibhre na h òiche ;
Bha Art mar a fhinnfir fa chath,
'S bidh ainm mo leinibh 's na dànaibh.
— Tra thuiteas na trein fa chath,
Mar ghath nan deigh bidh an dàn ;
Ach tuitidh an lag gun chliu ;
'S cha bhi fùil nan treun air nan daimhich.
Bidh 'n fuibhal uaigneach fa ghlean nan aonar,
Cha feas a haon diu' le flaithibh arda.
—Ach ciod fà tofnai 's tfhaondrai,
Brathair no bean-ghaoil air ionndrain ?
" Brathair cha bhuin domh fein,
'S do chèile' cha bhuin mife.
'S i buinneag Charnmhoir fà mo dhocair,
Smuainte mo là, is ofna m' òiche.
— Ach thug an òigh a hanam do Art,
Chunn' i thartar afios do 'n àraich,
Sheas i air cnoc le iomguin,
Le deoir dhiomhair, 's ofnaigh chràiteach.
