HYMN 2. L. M.

[Broad and wide’s the way to death.]

1 SHE lheayn as feayn ta’n raad gys baase,
Thousaneyn annym er ta goll;
Agh er yn chassan coon dy ghrayse,
Cha vel agh troailtagh, noon as noal.

2 Gobbal shin hene, ‘s goaill seose nyn grosh,
Shoh myr ta sarey’n Chiarn dy ghra:
Shegin da treigeil, dagh nhee ta wass,
Ta kiarit cosney’n vaynrys bra.

3 Yn annym agglagh ta gaase skee,
Gobbal dy hooyl yn raad gys niau;
T’eh coyrt e chooyl er raaidyn Yee,
As jannoo shickyr jeh toyrt-mow.

4 Hiarn, gow my pheccaghyn ersooyl,
As leeid mee ayns y chassan cair,
Raad nagh vod crauee oalsey shooyl,
Nagh vod mee-viallee goll er.
