Gu 's an d'thainig Clann Thamhais,
Nach saradh an cruadal
Gu's an d'thainig Clann Iain,
An triuir bu shine 'sa b' uails' dhiu
Gu's an d'thainig Clann Mhuirich,
'S gach aon duine mar chual' e,
;
; ;
'S ann bha 'n eigheach 'san sgreadail.
Anns na creagan sin shuas bhuait
Agus sHochd do dha sheanar,
A sior-thional mu 'n cuairt duit.
'Nuair a thainig do bhraithrean,
Bha iad craiteach, bochd, truagh dhe
'Nuair a thainig do phiuthar,
Bha leann-dubh air a gruaidhean.
'Nuair a thainig do mhathair,
Gu-m b'i an t- asran truagh i
;
Bha a ceann air dhroch cheangal,
'S a basan 'gam bualadh.
Is cha b' fhas' e dha d' athair,
Bha e casadh a ghruaige.
'Nuair a thain' do bhean-diolain,
Bha i spionadh a cuailein ;
'S tha mi sgith 's mi bhi suibhal,
Monadh dubha Dhrumuachdair.
The following verses were composed by a deceased
gentleman of Kingussie upon his wife, who died, as he
tells us, within a year of their marriage.
Cha n'eil dhe na bhliadhna
Deich miosan air falbh,
Bho fhuair mi coir air mo leannain,
'S bha i ceanalt' an dealbh.
Thug mise mo ghaol dh' i,
'S bha i aonda gun chearb ;
Bha i siobhalta, suairce,
'S cha chualas a fearg.
Cha robh ann mo run-sa
Aon smuain 'san robh giamh ;
Cha robh ann do chridhe
Aon sireadh nach b'fhiach.
