AN T-EILEANACH. 131
Tha neo-cbinnt 's ioma-eheist air luchd-maoin,
Tha daoine 'n iomaguin chràiteach,
Tha 'n iompaireaclid air chritli gu leir,
'S a steigh air roinn na stàilinn,
bru 'cumail ceart.
Ach seall a nis an grunnau bòidheach,
Na fir òga shunndach,
A' dol air ghleus ri fuaim nan dos,
'Us pong nam port tha siùbhlach,
Tha feileadh beag nam ball 's nam preas,
A danns air leis tha lùghar,
Ach tha mu 'n coinneamh obair bhorb,
'Us tha 'n stàilinn ghorm g' a rùsgadh,
'S g' a toirt a mach.
Ach tha 'r leam fhein gur beag an t-ioghnadh,
An inntinn a bhi tiamhaidh,
A' dol do 'n strith air duais cho crion,
'S an cunnart cinnteach, pianail,
Gach ionnsramaid g' a chuir air doigh,
Gu fuii 'us feòl a stialladh,
'Us iomadh innleachd nach d' rinn cinntinn,
Ann an inntinn diabhuil,
Gu liodairt dhaoin'.
Seall, nochd an nàmh 'us ghluais na sàir,
'S bu chruaidh a' ghàir a chualas,
Tha luchd Beurla, ged is treun iad,
A' fulang eucail fliuathasach,
