Bu bhoisgeil sealladh raii'n cuairt,
'S bha miann mo shiiil
Do dh'fhiùran barruicht'
An dlu's nam meanganan shuas ;
Geug fo bhlath
O barr gu talamh,
A lùb mi farrasda nuas :
Bu duilich do chach
Gu bràth a gearradh,
'S e 'n dan domh 'm faillean a bhuain.
Shuidhicli mi lion
Air fior-uisg tana,
'S mi stri 'ga tharruinn air bruaich,
'S thug mi le sgi-iob
Air tir a ghealag,
*S a lith mar eal' air a' chuan ;
'S toilicht' a dh'fhàg
E 'n la sin m' aigneadh,
An roinn a bh'agam san uair ;
B'i coimeas nio clieud mhna*
Reull na maidne,
Mo chèile cadail 's mi 'm shuain.
'S e b'fhasan leat riamh
Bhi ciallach bauail,
Ri giiiomh, 's ri ceanal mnk-uails* ;
Gu p^irteach, bàigheal,
Blàtli, gun choire,
Gun ghiomh, gun ghoinne, gun cliruas,
Gu dèirceach, daonntacli,
Faoilidh, farrasd',
Ri daoin fanna, bochd, truagh ;
Is tha mi le'd' sheol,
An doclias ro-mhath,
^Our Ion do t-anam do dhuais.
