'S ait lo binincli * nan allt,
'Chor 's gu'n cinnicli an clann,
Gu'n do niliillcadh na bli' ann de dh' nu'idar.
'Nuaii- a shuidheadh tim, slicoid
]\rar li buidheann ai,' ol
Mdv bu (.•liubliaidli l)luodh cenl niu'n turlacli.
Slau lo iiaislo na's leor
'S tu blii suairce gun bhron
Bho'n nach d' fhuaireas tliu, sh(>oid, gu li-iirail.
Faodaidh an earbag an noclid,
Eadar niliaoisleacli a's blioc
Cadal samliach air cnoc gun churam.
Faodaidh ise bin slan,
'Siublial iosal a's aird,
Bho 'n a chailleadli an t arniunn cliuiteach.
Tliis song was evidently composed after the finding and
bui-ial of IVIurdoch Macrae's body as stated in the last verses of
this lament.
Seinneam marbhrann as ur,
Mar fliion-sul do Chlann Mhic Rath,
Air ]\[urchadh donn-gheal mo run,
Bha loma lau do chliu gun clileith,
Cheud Aoine do'n gheamhradh fhuar,
'S daor a pliaidh sinn duais nar sealg.
An t-og bii chraobhaiche snuadh,
Na aonar uainn 's fhaotainn niarbh.
'Se sealg gheamhraidh Ghlinn-lic,
Dlr'fhag gieann oirnn gu trie is gruaim,
Mu 'n og nach robh teann 'sa bha glic.
Bin an teampuU fo lie san uaigh.
Bha tional na sgire gu leir,
Ri siubhal sleibh 's ri falbh bheann,
Fad sgios nan coig-latha-deug,
'8am fear direach treun air chall.
'S tursach do chinneadh mor deas,
Dha d' shii'eadh an ear san iar,
'San t-og a b' fhi\ighantaich beaclid,
Ri slios glinne marbli san t-sliabh.
