2 Chunna mi fdin aisling, 's cha blireug ;
Dh' flikg sin mo chr6 bronach,
Fear mar ri i^, a pogadh a b^il,
A' briodal an ddigh posaidh.
Dh' iiraich mo mhianii, dh' ath' rraich mo chiall,
Ghuil mi gu dian, doimeach,
Gach cuisle 'us fdith, o iochdar mo chldibh,
Thug iad gu leum comhla.
3 Thuit mi le d' ghath, mhill thu mo rath,
Striochd mi le neart dorainn,
Saighdean do ghaoil skitht' anns gach taobh,
Thug dhiom gach caoin comhla.
Mhill thu mo mhais, ghoid thu mo dhreach,
'S mheudaich thu gal broin domh ;
'S mur fuasgail thu trath, le d' fhuran 's le d'
Is cuideachd am has dh^mhsa. [fhailt'.
4 'S cam-lubach t' fhalt,fanna-bhuidh nan cleac,
'S fabhradh nan rosg kluinn ;
Gruaidhean mar chaor, broilleach mar aol,
Anail mar ghaoth garaidh.
Gu 'n cur iad mi steach an caol-thigh nan leac,
Bidh mi fo neart craidh dheth,
Le smaointinn do chleas, 's do shiigradh ma
Fo dhuilleach nam preas blkthmhor. [seach
5 Ckirear gu r^idh clach agus crd,
Mu m' leabaidh-sa 'bhrigh t' uaisle—
'S fada mi 'n eis a' feitheamh ort f^in,
'S nach togair thu 'gheug, suas leam.
Na 'm b' thusa bhiodh tinn, dheanainn-sa luinif
Mu 'm biodh tu fo chuing truaighe,
Ach 's goirid an dc\il gu 'm faicear an Ik,
'M bi prasgan a' ckradh m' uaigh-sa !
