MILITAEY AND PATRIOTIC SONGS. 175
Come from deep glen and
From mountain so rocky ;
The war-pipe and pennon
Are at Inverlochy.
Come every hill-plaid,
And true heart that wears one ;
Come every steel blade,
And strong hand that bears one !
Leave the deer, leave the steer,
Leave nets and barges ;
Come with your fighting gear.
Broadswords and targes.
Leave untended the herd,
The flock without shelter ;
Leave the corpse uniuterr'd.
The bride at the altar.
Come as the winds come
When forests are rended ;
Come as the waves come
When navies are stranded.
Faster come, faster come,
Faster and faster.
Chief, vassal, page, and groom,
Tenant and master.
Fast they come, fast they come j
See how they gather ;
Wide waves the eagle plume
Blended with heather.
Cast your plaids, draw your blades,
Forward each man set :
Pibroch of Donuil Dhu,
Now for the onset !
Come from deep glen and
From mountain so rocky ;
The war-pipe and pennon
Are at Inverlochy.
Come every hill-plaid,
And true heart that wears one ;
Come every steel blade,
And strong hand that bears one !
Leave the deer, leave the steer,
Leave nets and barges ;
Come with your fighting gear.
Broadswords and targes.
Leave untended the herd,
The flock without shelter ;
Leave the corpse uniuterr'd.
The bride at the altar.
Come as the winds come
When forests are rended ;
Come as the waves come
When navies are stranded.
Faster come, faster come,
Faster and faster.
Chief, vassal, page, and groom,
Tenant and master.
Fast they come, fast they come j
See how they gather ;
Wide waves the eagle plume
Blended with heather.
Cast your plaids, draw your blades,
Forward each man set :
Pibroch of Donuil Dhu,
Now for the onset !
