GF034i02 MO NIGHEAN DONN BHÒIDHEACH NAN GORM-SHÙIL MEALA

Beulaiche: Iseabail ni'n Bhaltair | Isobel Fortune

[…] 'cuimhneachadh a' chiad fhear bh' agam riamh—

Ho ro mo nighean donn bhòidheach nan gorm-shùil meala,
'S truagh nach robh sinn còmhla ged bhitheamaid falamh,
O mo nighean donn bhòidheach nan gorm-shùil meala.

Notes (fieldnotes):
Fragment.
