284. TIGHMORA, i>nAN v.
An caol ghleannan Chlòna fo dhubh
Tha aomadh dà chraoibhe thair an t-sruth ;
An sin sheas sàmhach am bròn
Sìol Dhuthno nan còmhrag còrr ;
Fuil a' taomadh 's ag iadhadh m'a thaobli, 245
A sgiath sgoiUt* 's briste air raon.
Ri carraig sheas a shleagh mhòr.
C'uim, a Dhearmuid, cho dubhach do bhròn ?
*' Tha mi cluinntinn garbh fhuaim a' chòmhraig
Mo chairde air chòmhnard leò fèin, , 250
Mo cheuma gu mall, air a' mhòr mhagh ;
Sgiath bhriste an comhstri gun fheum.
Am bi esan a ghnàth fo bhuaidh ?
Bithidh Dearmud san uaigh le chu,
Seal mu 'n èirich an dùbhra suas. 255
Gairmidh mi thusa gu còmhrag,
Is tachram ri mòrchuis Fholdaith.'*
Ghlac e shleagh ie sòlas ciar,
Mac Mhorni an triath g'a thaobh.
" Mhic Dhuthno, caisg-sa do luaths ; 260
Tha do cheuma gun tuar fo f huil ;
Cha leatsa garbh chopan do sgèith ;
C'uim a thuiteadh an triath gun airm ?"
'* Shìl Morni, dhomhsa do sgiath ;
Is tric a dh'aom i sìos an còmhrag : 265
Caisgìdh mi shiubhal air sHabh.
Shìl Morni, faic clach air chòmhnard ;
Clach a thog a hath cheann suas
Roi' 'n fheur a tha fuaim an gaoith :
Tha treun do mo chinneadh san uaigh ; 270
Tàisg an sin mi suas san oidhche."
