SO CAOMH-MHALA.
CAOMH-MHALA.
Na cuiribhse, a shìol na h-uaigh ;
Na cuiribhse mo kiaidh air chììL
Dh'f hàg e mi san t-seilg air cruaich ;
Gun f hios chaidh e suas gun chKù.
" TiUeam ri oidhch*," thuirt an triath ; 120
'S thill righ Mhòrbheinn fior ri oidhch*.
C' ar son nach d'innis thu, fhir lèith,
Tha *n cromadh nan sliabh gun soills',
Gu *n tuiteadh ceannard nan sgiath marbh ?
Chunnaic thu 'na fhuil an t-òig-fhear ; 125
'S cha d* innis thu 'm bròn do Chaomh-mhala.
MILSHÙIL-CHAOMHA.
Ciod an fhuaim tha shuas sa' bheinn ?
Ciod a tha boiUsgeadh sa' ghleann ?
Cò tha tighinn mar shruth treun,
'Nuair chritheas fo 'n rè nach gann 130
Mòr-uisge taomadh o charn ?
CAOMH-MHALA.
Cò ach an nàmhaid aig Caomh-mhaP ;
Mac righ an domhain *s a shkiagh.
A thannais Fhinn air neoil a' sgaoileadh,
Greas iuthaidh Caomh-mhal' sìos gu luath ; 135
Tuiteadh e mar fhiadh san aonach. —
'S e Fionn a th'ann, measg tannas a shluaigh !
C' uime thigeadh tu, mo luaidh,
A chur sòlais is fuath orm fèin ?
