An Tighmora nan treun-ghaoth,
’Nuair a clieileadh mac Shemo fo nial, ■
Air taobh Lego nan ciar shruth. . .. ^
Bu bhronach sgeul o Altban bath,
A rosga cur sios nan deur,
Nuair a labhair gu corr am bard.
“ Grian bhuidh a’ plaosgadh mu Dhora,
An liath-fheasgar a’ toiseachadh thall,
Chrith coille m’ an cuairt do Thighmora
Fo ghaoith bha caochladh mu charn ;
Thionail niala dubb fuar san iar,
Is dearg reul fo ’n sgiathaibh ag eirigh:
Sheas mi in’ aonar air aomadh nan sliabh
Faicinn tannais air ciar nan speur.
Bha ’cheuma mbr o chruaich gu cruaich,
Sgiath leathan gun tuar air a thaobh.
’S e bh’ ann mac Sheuma nam buadh ;
’S math a b’ aithne dhomh gruaim an laoich.
Shiubhail e na osaig fein ; 485
Bha dorcha gun leus m’ an cuairt.
Thuit m’ anam fo bhron gun f beum :
Ghluais mi gu talla nan stuadh,
Talk slige nam fuaim fial.
Mile solus ag eirigh ard,
Lan cheud do na baird fo theud.
Sheas Cormac ’nam meadhon cho aillidh
Hi dg-renl ag eirigh san speur,
’Nuair shealks i an solas ciuin
O chul nan sliabh mugach san ear, 495
A b-ur dhealra a’ gknadh o dhruchd l.
