'S gaoil e ghlaca na dhììil,
Ach dh' imich fan Aile '11 dreach ;
Dall duaichni a' caochia.
Mar cheo nan aonach mcach.
Dh' imich Ronan 's e Ian geilt,
Gu Sean'ar nan creag aofda,
Bha 'n critli-thaice ri luiig fein,
, Fo ghèig dlioilleir dharaich
Làn ogluidheach : — a' crom-aomadh^
'S fheufag aofda fios mu bhroUach.
—Air làr tha fhuil a' dearcadh,
Ach anam an cònuidh thaibhfe.
Ciod a chl thu, arfa Ronan,
Mu Shuil-mhine mo leannan gaoil-fa?
" Macan an sàs cruaidh
Barca thar cuan na deann,
A Shuil-mhine I 's cruaidh leam do ghlaodh,
A' taomadh air tuinn gun fhurtachd!"
— " * Is deacair leam fein do fgeuL"
— " f Cha chual thu gu leir olcas,"
Ronan fpeaks.
■f Seanar Ipeaks-
DW imich an laoch le tuirfe,
'S e toirt buille do'n bholg bheumacb.
Chlifg ceud ògan aobhach
Am meadhon eilde fan raon luachracb,
Dhoirt finn gu fruthaibh an laoich,
Tofdach caointeach fad na hòiche;
Fonn clarfaich no fuaimneach flige,
Fleadh no teine cha robh dlù i
Fuar fliuch gun deo leirfmn
Chaith finn gu leir an ùiche ;
'S air madainn bhuail fmn gu lear ;.
Bha oighean gun ghean air charraigibh.
Bu neo-amhluidh, a Dhumoir, do chor-fd^
Sa mhadainn mhoicli aig eiridh,
Gun tighean or-bhuidh le fuilegorma.
Ad thaUa dorcha ga heide.
— Chruinnich na h oighean iughrach,
Air druchd moch na maidne,
'S iad mar ghathaibh na greine foir,
Ag imeachd a chum na feilge.
Dh' iarr iad Suilmhine na teach diarahair :•
" Ighean Dhumoir is cian do chlos.
