Bhuail esan taobli Oscair. Air sgeith
Thuit an gaisgeach air 'aghaidh 's a' mhagli
Air a gliliin bha taice do 'u triath ;
Bha 'slileagh f liada fèiu 'n a làimli.

Ghluais geura ua cruaidhe tro' 'clieami
A'sgoltadh a ruadh-ehiabh air chid :
Mar charraig bhriste dli' aom an sonn,
A tliuiteas grad o sbliabli nan cròm,

E 'g aomadb ri copan a sgeithe,
Bha sleagh nan ciar libas ann a làinib.

An glaodb mar onf lia garbh nan sruth ;
