Thaobh do sheanar 'us do shean-mhàth'r,
Craobh a b' aithne dhòmhsa 'leanmhuinn,
Comunn mo ruin a dh' fhàs ainmeil,
As an ana-meinn cha d' rinn iad bun.
Cha robh mi-run fiUte ri 'n cruth ;
lochdmhor, fiachail, 's fialaidh mu 'n cuid ;
Cliii, 'us ciatamh, 's rianadh le guth.
'S iomadh rioghachd agus nàisean,
'S an do mheudaich sibh 'ur càirdean,
Mar 'rinn sibh ri prionnsa Teàrlach,
'N uair 'bha 'ghràisg a' bagairt a mhort.
Lean an duthchas cliiiteach ud riut —
I )ol an cunnart d' anma 's do chuirp ;
Thaobh an ciiil cha tionndadh iad stuth.
Fir Chnoideart 's ann leibh gu 'n druideadh,
'Rachadh mar sheabhag 's na druidibh,
B' e beachd 'ur naimhdean bu ghhce,
Thaobh 'ur misnich gu 'm b' fheàrr dhoibh sgur,
Luchd 'ur eucoir gheilleadh iad tur,
Meud 'ur beuma, 's geiread 'ur luinn,
'N deigh an leireadh b' eiginn dhoibh sgur.
An fhinne mhòr 's am por dh' fhàs ainmeil,
Domhnullaich, 's RaonuUaich chalma,
Bha gu fuilteach, stròiceach, fearrgha,
'N uair a chàirte 'n arguin ri 'n uchd.
