Dark Lochnagar
Ton : CEnglish
CAway, ye gay landscapes, ye gardens o' roses.
In Fyou let the Cminions of luxury Grove.
ResCtore me the rocks where snowflake reposes
If Fstill they are saCcred to Gfreedom and Clove
CBrave Caledonia, Fdear are thy Cmountains,
Round their white summits though eleGments war.
Tho' Ccataracts roar 'stead of smooth flowing fountains,
I Csigh for the valleys o' Gdark LochnaCgar.
Ah, Cthere my young footsteps in infancy wandered.
My Fcap was my Cbonnet, my cloak was my Gplaid.
On Cchieftains long perished my memory lingered
As Fdaily I strayed Cthrough the Gpine covered Cglade.
I Csought not my home till the Fday's dying gloCry
Gave place to the rays o' the bright polar Gstar
My fanCcy was cheered by the bold martial story
As Ctold by the sons o' Dark GLochnagar. C
CYears have rolled on, Lochnagar, since I left you
FYears must roll on Cere I see you again G
CThough Nature of verdure and flowers bereft you
Yet Fstill art thou deaCrer than AlGbion's plain C
EnCgland! thy beauties are tame Fand domestic C
To one who has roved on the Gmountains afar
Oh for Cthe crags that are wild and majestic
The Csteep frowning glories o' Gwild LochnaCgar.
CIll starred now the brave did no vision foreboding.
FTell you that fate Chad forsaken our Gcause
Yet Cwere you destined to die at Culloden?
FThough victory crowCned not your Gfall with apCplause.
Yet Cwere you happy in death's Fearthly slumCber
Tae sleep wi' your clan in the caves of BraeGmar
The piCbroch resounds tae the piper's loud numbers
Your Cdeeds on the echoes o' Gdark LochnaCgar.
Finale
CBrave Caledonia Fdear are thy mounCtains
I sigh for the Cvalley o' Gdark LochnaCgar
The Csteep sounding glories of Gdark LochnaCgar
The Csteep sounding glories of Gdark LochnaCgar
The Csteep sounding glories of Gdark LochnaCgar
