Dimitto

Thalla, a leabhair bhig neo-euchdaich:
amhairc a-steach 'na sùilean leugach:
ge bacach thu, chan eil thu breugach:
'n àm sgaoileadh sgiath bidh tu thar shlèibhtean.

Go, little ineffective book,
look into her shining eyes:
though lame, you are no liar:
in the time of wing spreading you will be over mountains.

Somhairle MacGill-Eain
