  1. Caoineadh Chlann Uisnigh

    Tráth ghluaiseamar-na go hAlban soir
    Nár b'aoibhinn dúinn i radharc is i ngreann
    Mar bhíodh na Muic¹ Uisnigh a' seilg
    's nár b'aoibhinn dúinne a suidhe ar luirg² na mbeann
    Lá dá raibh Fir Alban ag ól
    'S na Muic¹ Uisnigh dá mba mhór é gcionn
    D'Inghin Iarla Dhúin Mhic a Treóin
    Thus Naois' a phóg ingan fhios
    Chuir sé chuici eilit mhaol
    Agus Laogh alla le na cois
    Agus gheall sé bheith aici ar cuairt
    A' filleadh ó shluaightí Inbhear-noir³
    Nuair a chuala mé féin siúd
    Do líon mo cheann ar fad le éad
    Chuir mé mo churrachán ar an tuinn
    Agus ba chuma liom mo bheo nó m'éag
    Aill agus Ardán nár chum bréag
    Leanadar mé san snámh
    Nó go dtugadar mise ar m'ais
    Dís a chuirfeadh cath ar chéad⁴
