" Tha uisge sriith na dlge 



Na shruthladh diibh gun sioladh 

 Le barraig uaine, liògh ghlas,

 An clnn an duileag bhàite." — M'Ixtyre. 



The water in its channel flows, 



A dirty stagnant stream, 

 And algie green, like filthy cream, 



Its surface only shows. 

 With water-grass, a choking mass. 



The water-lily grows.
