tha fear marbh, sìnte,
seann phàipear a chraiceann,
dùinte, sìtheil a shùilean,

Lochinbar agus msaa - by Marion Fiona Morrison

{ Poem }

Gaisgeach gun teagamh
Agus mheall e iad uile aig Talla Netherby
Gu h-àraidh am fleasgach bochd, ad a’ snìomh na làimh,
Duine gun fheum a sheas le coltas an amadain

An Leabhar II - by Marcas Mac an Tuairneir

gus a thoirt a-steach do thèarmann teanta
is a shealltainn do do bheathaichean lìonta.

Air Acair - by Deborah Moffatt

{ Poem }

feasgar ciùin foghair
’s thu air do shlighe dhan bhaile,
uisge rèidh a’ bhàigh na teine
fo gathan fada na grèine
