ORAIN
'S ioma fiùran ùr neo chlaon,
Gun ghlomb, gun ghaoid, gtin fhòtuB
A thuit gu làr an suain a' bhàis,
Mu'n d'fhuair sibh àird a' chòmhnaird.
Tharruing Raglan a's Canrobert —
Na fir chogaidh uasal —
Am feachd shluagh taghta air an adhart —
Dhol ri aghaidh bualidh ;
Ach ged bha Sassimaich us Frangaich
Clis neo-mhall 'san tuasaid,
'S iad na Gàidheil 'rinn a bheàm
A chuir an là gu buadhach.
Bha Batri mhùrtail aig an Russaineach
Air uchd an aonaich
A' dòirteadh sios nan garbh-fliras siontach
Mar chruaidh-ghliob 's an fhaoilteach,
Bha'n teine trom ud ri mòr-dhiobhail,
'Sgathadh sios nan laoch geal —
A's cha be 'n sùgradh tarruLng dlùth
Ri beul na fùrneis chraosaich.
Ach si'n Keiseamaid dhubh, ghaisgeil
Fo' Shir Cailein Caimbeul —
Curaidh treim nan ioma blàr —
Bha' chliu ro àrd mar cheannard —
A tharruLtig suas gu dìleas dlùth
Gun gheilt air cùl a shàlach,
'S a chuir na gunnairean 'san tuimhnich
Le geur rionn na stàilinn.
'N uair a chunncas air a' bhearradh
Na fir gheala lùthor,
Buidhean ghlan nam breacan uallach
D'an robh 'bhuaidh mar dhùthchas
