Dhannsadh iad air ùrlar clàraich

'S smàladh iad le 'n sàil a' choinneal.

Snuffing out the candle with their heels.

Extract from a poem by the bard, Dougall MacLennan (Dùghall Iain Ruaidh), Inverness County, Cape Breton. [Sgeul gu Latha - Tales until Dawn by Joe Neil MacNeil, Edinburgh, 1987, p. 477].
