Ràn/ dissonantcry
Ràn
An dèidh feasgar a chur seachad a’ seòladh thar na linne
(‘S a cainnt fhèin aice) ‘s fàs tinn ‘s nas tinne,
Chuir sinn air tìr ann an Rùm ‘s na fachaich ann ri ràn
Sa chaolas mun taigh-mhòr, cho ciùin agus rèidh,
Far an lìonmhor na cuileagan-meanbh ‘s na fèidh
Gu h-àrd anns a’ mhonadh eadar dhubh ’s bhàn.
