'S e Claim Raonuill bhoiUsgeadh mar thuil,
'N àm na caonnaig chraosgladh iad fuil ;
Fearg 'nan aodann 's b' aognuidh an cruth.
C' àite an robh iad riamh ri 'n àireamh,

Sheas iad dìleas mar an stàilinn
Gus an robh 'n nàmh toileach air sgur.
Na fir àluinn àireamh dhiu thuit,
'S cha bu nàr dhoibh tràghadh air fuil ;
'S b' iomadh àrmunn 'bhàsaich le guin.
