Leug Àlainn, Leug Gaoil

by Mia Suhaimi

Nam b’ fheudar dhomh
shreapainn pàlas Indra
’s dh’fhighinn fhìn an lìon –
dhèanainn e gu dearbh

D’fhighinn na leugan a-steach
aon air aon ’s air aon
gus am faicinn a h-uile rud ann –
an saoghal mar a tha e

Is dh’fhighinn barrachd a-steach
aon air aon ’s air aon
gus am faic mi d’ fhaileas ann
cho àlainn ris na leugan

Na leugan anns am faiceadh
faclan mo ghaoil
