354 DÌON OIDHGHE
CO caol agus fìnealt agus daithean co glan grinn agus aodach co brlagh
snasail agus a chitheadh sibh le bhur sùil.
A Rìgh na gile 's na grèine, is iomadh atharrachadh a thàinig air an
dùthaich ri mo linn fèin. Is cuimhne liomsa dar a bhiodh daoine na
dùthcha dol chon na hOda ann an Aird Mhìcheil latha na FèiU Mìcheil.
Bha mi fhèin ann aig an Oda turas agus turas ; agus is ann an sin bha
an sealladh sluaigh ! Daoin as gach beinnd agus baile, mòinteach agus
machair, eilean agus rudha san dCithaich, agus an saoghal fhein a dh'eich !
Cha robh fhios co ast a thàinig iad no co ast a bha iad a' tighinn. Cha
robh fo ghrein ghil nam buadh. O a Mhoire nan gràs, an latha gràdhach
a bh'againn an sin ! le marcachd agus cuartachadh agus carraideachadh,
le cùlagan agus currain, le fàilteachadh agus le furain dhaoine !
Agus oidhche na Feill Micheil ! B'i sin an oidhche shòlasach an Uibhist !
Bal agus dannsadh, ceòl agus òrain, beòir agus uilim an ceann gach ursann.
Agus na falachain aig a' chlann nighean ! agus gun fhios fo'n ghrein cuin
no càit an d'fhuair iad na currain — cha robh fios !
EANNAICH, a Dhe, dh'an teine,
Mar a bheannaich dh'an Òighe ;
Beannaich, a Dhe, dh'an teallach,
Mar a bheannaich dh'an Domhnach.
Beannaich, a Dhe, dh'an chuideachd,
Mar a thubhairt ìosa ;
Beannaich, a Dhe, dh'an bhuidhinn,
Mar bu chubhaidh dhuinn iobradh.
Beannaich, a Dhe, dh'an taigh,
Beannaich, a Dhe, dh'an teine,
Beannaich, a Dhe, dh'an tulach ;
Bi fein 'nat urradh dhuinne.
Beannaicheadh Ti nan dùl,
Beannaicheadh Criosda cùmh,
Beannaicheadh Spiorad Nùmh
Gach ùn agus gach uile,
Gach ùn agus gach uile.
