MI ANN A BHAIRD AOSDA. 89
XYI.
Biodh tiiinn òg a snàmh le sunnt,
Thar limie 's mine giubhas, gu liiatli,
Sratli ghiubhais uain' aig a ceann,
A' lubadh cliaoran dearg air bruaich.
XVII.
Biodh ear àluinn an uchd bhàin,
A snàmh le spreigh air bharr nan tonn,
'Xuair tbogas i sgiath an àird,
A measg nan nial cha'n fhàs i tròm.
XVIII.
'S trie i 'g astar thar a chuain,
Gu asraidh fhuar nan ioma' ronn,
Far nach togar bre'id ri crann,
'S nach sgoilt sròn dharaich tonn !
XIX.
BÌ thusa ri dosan nan torn,
Is cumha' do ghaol ann ad bheul,
Eala' thriall o thir nan tonn
'S tu seinn dhomh ciùil an aird nan speur.
