AN T-EILEANACH.
'S leis a' ghleadhraich a bha 'n sud
Gu 'n chur iad mis' air ainilireit.
Theab an solus ud mu dhalladh,
A bha deàrrsadh as na sparan,
Chaidh mi null 'us rinn mi fharraid
Am b' e ghealach Glial Id' e !
Righ ! gur mise bha 'n am chàs
Ag iarraidh air gach taobh do 'n t-sràid,
Mu 'n d' fhuair mi niach far 'n robh mu chàirdean
Gabhail tàmh 'san "Trongate."
'Nuair a fhuair mi 'n àite-còmhnuidh,
Dhèirich m' inntinn suas le solas,
Na bha chairdean 'sdo luchd-còlais
Còmhla riu aig dram ann.
Bha Calum 'us Eachann Mac Ghuair' ann,
Clann Iain mhaoil ;i Tòr-na-h-uamha
Dùghall ban a Lag-nan-sguab,
'Us Pàruig Ruadh Mac Amlaidh.
Dh ol mi slàinte tìr an tighe,
'N uair a lion e 'n t-slige-chreachainn,
Cuimhneachan bh 'aig air a' sheanair
'Bh' ann an Glaic-na-Samhna.
'8 iad na h-orain bha 'n 's a' chomunn, —
"Chabhraich a bha'n tigh a'ghobhainii."
''Sud mar bliuilich mi'n t-each-odhar,"
'Sam "BogeUse Landi/."*
