| RYNO | B |

| The wind and the rain are over | C |
| calm is the noon of day The | D |
| clouds are divided in heaven Over | C |
| the green hills flies the inconstant sun | E |
| Red through the stony vale comes | F |
| down the stream of the hill Sweet are | G |
| thy murmurs O stream but more | H |
| sweet is the voice I hear It is the voice | I |
| of Alpin the son of the song mourning | J |
| for the dead Bent is his head of age | K |
| and red his tearful eye Alpin thou | L |
| son of the song why alone on the silent | M |
| hill why complainest thou as a | D |
| blast in the wood as a wave on the | D |
| lonely shore | H |

| ALPIN | A |
| - | |
| My tears O Ryno are for the dead | N |
| my voice for the inhabitants of the | D |
| grave Tall thou art on the hill fair | O |
| among the sons of the plain But thou | L |
| shalt fall like Morar and the mourner | C |
| shalt sit on thy tomb The hills shall | P |
| know thee no more thy bow shall lie in | A |
| the hall unstrung | J |
| - | |
| Thou wert swift O Morar as a | D |
| doe on the hill terrible as a meteor of | Q |
| fire Thy wrath was as the storm of | Q |
| December Thy sword in battle as | R |
| lightning in the field Thy voice was | S |
| like a stream after rain like thunder | C |
| on distant hills Many fell by thy | T |
| arm they were consumed in the flames | U |
| of thy wrath | V |
| - | |
| But when thou returnedst from war | H |
| how peaceful was thy brow Thy face | W |
| was like the sun after rain like the | D |
| moon in the silence of night calm as | R |
| the breast of the lake when the loud | X |
| wind is laid | Y |
| - | |
| Narrow is thy dwelling now dark | J |
| the place of thine abode With three | Z |
| steps I compass thy grave O thou who | A2 |
| wast so great before Four stones with | B2 |
| their heads of moss are the only memorial | C2 |
| of thee A tree with scarce a leaf | D2 |
| long grass which whistles in the wind | E2 |
| mark to the hunter's eye the grave of | Q |
| the mighty Morar Morar thou art | F2 |
| low indeed Thou hast no mother to | A2 |
| mourn thee no maid with her tears of | Q |
| love Dead is she that brought thee | Z |
| forth Fallen is the daughter of Morglan | A |
| - | |
| Who on his staff is this who is this | G2 |
| whose head is white with age whose | H2 |
| eyes are red with tears who quakes | I2 |
| at every step It is thy father O | B |
| Morar the father of none but thee | Z |
| He heard of thy fame in battle he heard | J2 |
| of foes dispersed He heard of Morar's | I2 |
| fame why did he not hear of his | I2 |
| wound Weep thou father of Morar | Z |
| weep but thy son heareth thee not | K2 |
| Deep is the sleep of the dead low their | Z |
| pillow of dust No more shall he hear | Z |
| thy voice no more shall he awake at | L2 |
| thy call When shall it be morn in the | D |
| grave to bid the slumberer awake | J |
| - | |
| Farewell thou bravest of men | A |
| thou conqueror in the field but the field | M2 |
| shall see thee no more nor the dark | J |
| wood be lightened with the splendor of | Q |
| thy steel Thou hast left no son | A |
| But the song shall preserve thy name | N2 |
| Future times shall hear of thee they | O2 |
| shall hear of the fallen Morar | Z |
