Co mor 's tha e d' bheachd ; dheth t' stor cha teid leat,
Ach bòrdain bheag shnaighte', 's leine :
Ach 's e ciiram is mo dol a dh' ionnsuidh a' mhoid
Thoirt cunntas an coir 's air eucoir ;
Far nach seasadh do ni, dhuit dad dheth t' chuid feich ;
'S mo an t-eagal bhi 'm priosan peine !

Mo ghaol an colgairneach spracail,
Fear nan gorm-shuilean maiseach,
Chuireadh foirm fo na macaibh,
'N uair a thachradh iad ris.
'N uair a chruinnicheadh do choisir,
Cha b' i chuilm gun a comhradh ;
Gheibhte' rainn agus òrain,
'S iomadh stoiri 'nam measg :
Gille beadarrach sugach,
Tha na chleasaiche liighor ;
'S ro mhaith 'bhreabadh an t-urlar,
Agus 'thionndadh gu briosg.
