76 TIOMNA GHUILL.
425 Tliàinig osag 'n a ciiibhlidli 's a' phreas,
Dliùisg i coileach an fhraoich.
Le tuireadh-glaoidli thog e clieann ;
A m' chadal clilisg mi fèin,
A's chunnas Morna 'n a neul 'g am fhàgail.
430 Leanas thar muir a clieum,
A's fliuaras an sgeitli na h-innse 'n sgotli.
An taice r'a taobli bha ceann mo Ghuill,
E-i taobli uilne blia sgiatli nan catli ;
Thar a bile bha creuchd mu leth,
435 'S i dearg-shrnthadh mu chnapastarra.
Thogas a chlogaid ; chunnas a chiabhan
'N an ànradh fiar am fallus.
Dh' eirich mo bhùirich fèin,
'S thog esan air eiginn a shùil.
440 Thàin' an t-eiig mar smal na greine ; —
Tuille cha leir dliufc d' Oscar !
Tha àilleachd Aoibheir-chaomlia fo smal,
'S bàrr sleagh aig a mac gun smuairean ;
B' f hann a guth ; bu tearc a ràite.
445 Thogas fein le m' laimh a suas i ;
Ach leag i mo bhas air ceann a mic,
'S a h-acain gii trie ag eirigh.
OiSTAN. — " A leinibh chaoimh, is diomhain d'
f hiiran !
Do mhathair tuille cha 'n eii'ich.
450 Biom fein dut am dhearbh-atliair,
Ach ni 'm mairionn an Aoibhii'-àluinn.
