U CARRAIG-THURA.
** Na cuimhnich mac Chumhail air raon ; 270
'S lag do tliannais— 's mòr mo neart.
'Na ghluais mi mo cheum o 'n bheinn
Gu d* thalla f èin, air raon a's ciuin ?
'Na thachair mo shleagh, am bheil feum,
An truscan nan speur ri guth 275
Fuathais dhuibh aig crom Chruth-Loduinn ?
C* uim' thog thu do mhala le gruaim ?
C* uim' chrathadh tu shuas do shleagh ?
'S beag m' eagal ri d* chòmhra, f hir fhaoin.
Cha do theich mi o shluagh sa' mhagh j 280
C' uim* theicheadh o shiol nan gaoth
Sàr ghaisgeach nach faoin, righ Mhòrbheinn ?
Cha teich ! Tha f hios, gun bhi dall,
Air laigse do làimhe an cath."
" Teich gu d* thìr," fhreagair an Cruth ; 28.5
" Teich air a* ghaoith dhuibh ; bi falbh !
*^ Tha 'n osag an crodhanjjgo làijn^ ;
'S leam astar is spairn nan stoirm ;
'S e righ na Soruch* mo mhac fèin ;
Tha 'aomadh sa' bheinn dha m* thuar ; 290
Tha a charraid aig carraig nan ceud,
Is coisnidh gun bheud a* bhuaidh.
Teich gu d' thìr fèin, a mhic Chumhail,
No fairich gu dubhach m* fhearg."
Thog e gu h-ard a shleagh dhorch' ; 295
Dh'aom e gu borb a cheann ard ;
Ghabh Fionnghal *na aghaidh le colg,
A chlaidheamh glan gorm 'na làimh,
Mac an Luinn, bu chiar-3hubh gruaidh.
Ghluais solus na cruaidhe ro* *n taibhs', 300
Fuathas dona bhàis fo-ghruaim.
