Uaibhreach a nochd na coilich ghiuthais

Proud tonight the pine cocks

a’ gairm air mullach Cnoc an Rà,

crowing on the top of Cnoc an Ra,

dìreach an druim ris a’ ghealaich –

straight their backs in the moonlight –

chan iadsan coille mo ghràidh.

they are not the wood I love.

Sorley MacLean, “Hallaig” (1952)
