This is a verse of a song that was composed by Big Tailor MacKinnon of Ainslie Glen. He was leaving his country and going away from Cape Breton and he composed this song.



'S iomadh latha fuar a chaidh mi suas Ghleann Mheadhanaich, 
'S a mhacraich gu h-uallach mun cuairt air an léig,
'S e a bhith fàgail mo dhùthchadh,
'Toirt mo chùil ris na cruinneagan,
Na flùraich bu luraiche cha b' urrainn, ó bhith fàs.



There's a lot more to this song, but I have not any more verses.
