1 14 FOLK TALES AND FAIRY LORE.
Tha m' aodach air tolladh,
Tha 'n olann gun sniomh,
Agus deadh bhean mo thighe
'Na laighe fo dhion.
Tha mo chrodh gun an leigeil,
Tha 'n t-eadradh aig each,
Tha mo leanabh gun bheadradh,
'Na shuidh' air a' bhlar.
Tha m'fhàrdach-sa creachta,
'S lom mo leac is gur fuar,
Tha m' ionmhas 's mo bheartas
Fo na leacan 'na suain.
Uist! a chagarain ghràdhaich,
Caidil sàmhach, a luaidh ;
Cha tog caoineadh do mhàthair,
Dean bà bà a nis, 'uain.
