Fhir-bhriseadh nan sgiath, bi falbh.
" 'N d' thig sòlas mii lagaich, a thriath ?
Cha 'n 'eil, Oisein, mo sgiath dhomh fèin ;
Tha i briste is sgaoilt air an t-sliabh ;
Bhriseadh ite eoin riabhaich na speur
Air mo cheann-bheirt fo bheum a'chòmhraig.
'Nuair a theicheas an nàmhaid gu dian,
Bidh aithriche thriath fo shòlas ;
Ach èirigh an osna gu 'trian,
'Nuair theid gaisgich gu dìth air chònihnard.
Cha 'n fhaicear le Fillean an righ;
C' uim a bhiodh e fo strl a' bhròin ?"
Mhic Chlatho a's guirme sùil,
Og FhiUein, na dùisg mo chliabh.
Nach robh thu do theine gun mhùig,
'S nach bi sòlas as-ùr air thriath ?
Cha 'n 'eil llonadh do chhii dhomh f hèin ;
Mar ghrèin tha 'n treun do nio thriall :
Thii e coimhead mo cheuma le sòlas,
Gun fhaileas a' còmhnuidh m'a ghnuùis.
Suas, Fhillein, gu Mòra nan tòrr;
Tha cuirm anns a' cheò sguoilte.
" Oisein, thoir dhomh fein mo sgiath,
Na h-ite tha ciar fo ghaoith :
Cuir iadsa mar ri FiUean, a thriath,
Gus nach caiU e ach trian d'a chliu.
Thrèin Oisein, tha laigs'orm fhèiu;
Cuir mise fo bheud sa' chòs.
Fhir-bhriseadh nan sgiath, bi falbh.
