l>h:i tliii foiirail aims gat-li oeuiii,
'8 bu bliarraiclit' thu a deirceadh 1)Iioc1k1,
'S math dliut air deas laiinli do Rigli,
Lughad sa chuir thu 'in piis an t-olc.
Ail- Nolkiig nan corn 's nan cuach,
'8 ann sa glileann so sliuas bha' n call,
An t-og a b-fhiugliantaich snuadh,
Na shineadh fo shuaindnieas dall.
Bu til marbhaich' a bhalla-bhric bhain,
Le mor-ghath caol, 's o fada, gour,
Lc cuilbheir bhristeadh tu cnaiinh,
\S bu shilteach fo d' laiuih na feidh.
Do rasg gun aire fhir chaoimh,
Fo 'n uihala gun chlaon gun smal,
Deud gheal dhisucach is beul dearg,
Sud an dealbh bha air an fhear.
Bu tu an t-slat eibhinn aluinn ur,
Bu mhiann sul 's bu leannan nina,
A ghnuis ann san robh 'in breac-seirc,
Bha oho deas air thapadh laimh.
Chuala mise clarsach theud,
Fiodhall is beus a' co-sheinii,
Oha chuala 's cha chluinn gu brach,
Ceol na b'fhearr na do bheul binn.
Gas fhalt buidhe fainneach reidh,
Aghaidh shoillear gle ghlan dearg,
A ghnuis san robh gliocas gun cheilg,
Air nach d'fhiosraicheadh riamh fearg.
'S math am fear-rannsachaidh an t-aog,
'8e 'm maor e a dh'iarras gu niioii,
Bheir e leis an t-og gun ghiamh,
'8 fagaidh e 'm fear liath ro shoaii.
'8 ann Di-li-Aoine dh' fhalbh thu 'uain,
'8 air Di-h-aoine fhuaireadh thu, rain.
'8 disathurua bu chruaidii an cas,
Aig sluagh dha d' cliaradh 'san uir.
The next song on my list was composed by Mrs Fraser of
CJuisachan and Culbokie, daughter of INIr Macdonald of Ardnabee,
Glengarry. This lady liad nine sons. Three of them died at
