LAOIDHEAN o'N BHEURLA. 129
Latlia clio blii aiiii 'iia dlieidli,
Folaichear na reullan 'sa ghrian ;
Sgriosar an saog-hal gu leir,
S neach cha d' theid ann toll o Dhia.

INIeadaich mo gliliocas le gras ;

Seal m'an druid mo shuil le bas.

ality of Highlanders, which makes it well known as a
piece of poetic merit.

LAOIDH L
AIR MADAINN LA AN TIGHEaRNA.
Mo Dhia ! do'n glirein thug eolas mor,
Gu eiridh oirnn' gach la,
Chum soillseachadh na cruinne-ce,
Mu'n cuairt nan speur gun tamh.
O sheomraiche na h-airde near,
Air mhadain duisgidh suas ;
Gun tamh, gun fhois, ag ruigli na reis,
Gu h-eibhneach deas is tuath.
Coi'-lioiiamsa gun chlos gun sgiths,
IVlo ghniomlia* mar a'ghrian :
Air tus an la, triallam gun sgath,
Air slighe slainte 'ii Triath.
