CARMINA GADELICA

Ortha nan Gaidheal

RUNE OF THE 'MUTHAIRN'

Thou King of the moon

Thou King of the sun,

Thou King of the planets,

Thou King of the stars,

Thou King of the globe,

Thou King of the sky,

Oh! lovely Thy countenance,

Thou beauteous Beam.

Two loops of silk

Down by thy limbs,

Smooth-skinned;

Yellow jeweIs

And a handful

Out of every stock of them.
