Is thuirt an Caiptein Caimbeul, 's e 'n geard a
bhaile, \
Gu'm b'aithne dha bantrach ann aite falaich,
I Is gu'n deanadh e aird air a cur a'm' charaibh.
Rinnemar a b'abhaistco'mhaith'saghealladh.
Thug e dhomh air laimh i, 's am paidh mar'ri j
Is ge b'e bhi's a feoraich a h-ainm no sloinneadh,
Their iad rithe Seonaid, 's b'c Deorsa seannair.
Tha i soitheamh, suairce, gun ghruaim, gun
smalan,
I Is i cho ard an uaisle re mnaoi san f hearann;
I; Is culaidh a m' chumail suas i, o'n tha i mar'rium,
f Is mor an t-aobh'r smuairein do'n fhear nach
faigh i.
Leig me dhiom Nic-coshum ge d'tha i mair-
thean,
is leig mi na daimh chrocach an taobh bha 'n
aire,
Is thaodh' mi ris an 6g mhnaoi, 'sann leam nach
aithreach;
Cha n'eil mi gu'n storas o'n phos mi 'n ainnir.
Bhcir mi f hein mo bhriath'r gu bheil i ro-
mhaith,
Is nach d'aithnich mi riamh orra cron am falach,
Ach gu foinneamh, finealta, direach, fallain,
Is i gu'n ghoid, gu'n ghiomh, gu'n char fiar,
gu'n chamadh.
