4 AN T-EILEANACH.
Air oidhche Dhi-sathuirn' bidh caithream 'us ceòl aim,
Sùisdeadh 'us satadh, gu maduinn Di-dònaich,
Cha 'n ioghnadh an rioghaclid so idir bhi brbnach,
Ma tha uibhir 'g an leon 's an Soudan dliinn.
Ma tlièid mi 'n tigli-òsda bidh stop aig na cailleacban,
Suidhe aig bord ann, ri mòran do sheanachas,
A'càineadh nan daoin' ac' 's a' caoineadh an seana-mhathar,
'Us cosdaidh iad airgiod gun taing ann.
Bidh bean 's i gun chais'eart m' an stairsnich 's giiiig oiri'
Pàisde na h-achlais 'dh 'fhag altrum ci'ùbach,
'Us fain' air a' chorraig 'us fhaisg' air a Kidaig, —
'S mar'aisg air iimpaidh chuir ann e.
Gu' n tog i mo mhi-thlachd 'n uair chi mi air sraid i,
'S dosan a cinn's nach robh cir 'o chionn i-àthaidh,
Dheanadh e peallan domh 'thearradh a' bhàta,
'Thoirt oirre 'bhi deàrrsadh 'san t-Samhradh.
Ach ni mi an litir so nis a cho-dhùnadh,
Beannachd gu Lachunn, gu Ailein, 's gu Diigliall,
'Sinnsidh tu dh' Iseabal mise 'bhi 'n diirachd
Gu 'n criocli'naicli i 'chùbhrainn roimh Bhealltuinn.
