The sections of the poem which are left out of the above translation are - in reference to the BBC transcription, first message on the thread -
verse 3 "Do chreagan gu h-uaibhreach," (your lofty crags);
verse 6 "Ach tha 'm fàrdaichean sguabte," (but the premises are swept - seems in the context to mean they are empty);
and verse 7 "O! càite bheil gach sòlas Bha agam nam òige," (Where is all the contentment I had in my youth)
