134 AN T-EILEANACH.
Am fonn air chrith fo 'm bonn na 'm riiith,
'S an fhuaim a bhrisd 'n uair bhuail iad,
'S geur lann gu sgath da shlait air fad,
'S a cheann an taic ri 'chruachan,
Gu sàtha,dh thall.
Geal-bhàrach. mar thonnaibh cuain,
Ri cladach cruaidh ag eiridh,
A' bualadh borb le onfhadh stotli,
A plod an deigh a cheile,
Aon ma seach a' call an neart,
Mu clieann na carraig 's treun i,
Ach thill na tuinn 'n nair dh' fhalbh an gal,
'Us dh' fhàg iad pàirt dhiubh fhèin ann,
Mu 'n cuairt nan leac.
Stàilinn chruaidh ri aodan stàilinn,
Fo neart a' ghàirdein bhuadhaich,
'Us teinne mar an spor fo bar,
'S a h-uile àite 'm buail i,
Am maroaiche a' tigh'n gu làr,
'S an t-each air sgànradh fiata,
A' falbh air saud air feadh a' bhlair,
'S gun neach a thairngeas srian air,
Chaidh a chur dheth.
Seal], theich an nàmh 's gu dearbh cha nàr dha,
Sheas e tàir bha fuathasach,
Ach thug e as le luaths' a chas,
'S gur teann a lean an ruaig air,
