SAR-OBAIR NAM BARD GAELACII.
Thèid lìonmhor, 1,'iidir
'S an àit a gheallas iad ;
Fir shunndach dhàicheil,
A grunnd Earr-Ga'e'l,
Nach diult 's na blàraibh
Le làmhach caithriseach.
Na h-Urrachaich eireachdail
Le'n urachair sgallanta,
Cuir suas nam peileirean
Nach cualas mearachdach,
S iad buaghar iomairteaeh
'S cha dualchas giorag dhaibh,
'S an ruaig cha philleadh iad,
'S gur cruaidh le'n lauuan iad.
Na h-uaislean Eileanach,
'S aim uain nach fannadh iad,
'S fir chuairteach beiiin' iad,
'S air chuan, nam maraichean ;
Luchd bhualadh bhuilleau iad
'S a fhuair an t-urram sin,
A's fuaim an gunnaircachd
Chu luath ri dealauaich.
'S arm tha air naimhdean
\S an km so amai 'each,
'S a mhisneach ard
Tha 'nar ceann,'s a dh'fhannas aim
Tha 'n Righ ag earbsadh
Gu'n diol sinn argamaid,
I .i' stri na h-armailt
Mar dhearbb ir 'n-athraichean.
'Nuair thog iad sròl
'S na fir ìnhòra tarruiiin lis,
'S o'n fhuair iad eòlas
Air loghlum cabhagach.
Chan fbaicear ob-ladta
De ghaisgich òga,
Air tuille nth
'S cha teirig lhn dhuinn
Ra'r beò air Gearasdan.
IAIN CAIMBEUL A' BHANCA.
Iain Chaimbeul a' bhanca,
Gu'm faiceam thu shin,
Fhir a chumail na daiinh,
'Gam buincadh bhi mòr :
Le d' chridhe fial, fearail,
A thug barracbd air each,
An iomadaibh càs
A thullleadb nan tAògh
Fhuair thu meas, nach 'eil bicbiont'
A measg Bhreatuinneach,
Banc an bir bhi fo d' sgòd,
Ann an còir dhleasannach ;
Na th' aim, cha 'n e 'in beagan
Is e 'in freasdal ri d' stàit,
Fo leagadh do lamb
'S gu freagradh do bheòil.
'S tu marcach nan srann-each,
Is farraniaicli mini,
Le 'm fallaireachd fciii
Gu farasda, foil:
Air dbiollaid nan cnisaii
Bu dùbailte sreiu,
'S tu bhuidhneadh gacfa i eis,
A shiubhladh an rod.
Na h-eich bhearcasach, chalma,
Bhiodh garhh, cuniachdail,
Is iad gu h-anmadail, ineamnach,
Le 'in falbh gurilleumach.
