*' Tlia uisge sriith na dige 



Na shriithladh diibh gun sioladh 

 Le barraig uaine, liogh ghlas, 



Gu mi bhlasda grannd,

An cinn an duileag bhaite." — M'Intyre.

A dirty stagnant stream, 

 And algae green, like filthy cream, 



Its surface only shows. 

 With water-grass, a choking mass, 



The water-lily grows.
