Leth tharruingt' an lanna gu beumadh,
Sùilcan sàmhach a'tèinieadh fo phlaosg.
A nis a bhitheadh cònilnag garbh,
Mar lasadh duhh-fhearg an righ.
Rùisg e 'lann mar dheahin oidhche
Ri solus is soillse nan crann.
" A chlann na niòirchuis," thuirt an treun,
Cuiribh anam fo bheus is sniachd ;
Fo dhorcliadh na h-oidhclie leibli fèin.
C'uim a ghhiaiseadh gu beudaibli m' f hearg ?
Am bi condistri mo làimh' ruibli maraon ?
Cha 'n àm so, a dhaoine, gu strl.
O 'n chuirm sibh mar nialaibh o m' thaobh ;
Na mosgladh sibh anam an rigli."
Thuit iad sìos o thaobh an trèin
Mar dhà mheall dubh do clieò san iar,
An uair tha madainn chiuin sa' bheinn ;
'S a sheallas eatorra fèin a' ghrian
Glan bhoillsgeadh air chraig nan carn.
Dorcha tha 'n aomadh dubhadh thall
Gu lòn nan cuilc mall fo 'n tòrr.
Shuidh triatha an sàmhchair ri cuirm ;
Bha 'n sealladh air uairibh mu 'n righ,
Gharbh cheuma air eadun a'chuirn
Measg sìtheachadh 'anma o strl.
Shìn an sluagh mu thaobh an raoin ;
Thuit cadal claon air faoin Mhoilèna;
Ghluais guth o Fhonnar caoiu araon
Leth tharruingt' an lanna gu beumadh,
Sùilcan sàmhach a'tèinieadh fo phlaosg.
A nis a bhitheadh cònilnag garbh,
Mar lasadh duhh-fhearg an righ.
