Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems, Local, Lyric and Miscellaneous To him whose tuneful high-aspiring muse Invoked the fortunes of our Royal Bruce; In lofty strains who taught his harp to ring With Scotland´s sorrows, and her Hero King: How freedom groan´d in Albyn´s humbled land Beneath a crafty tyrant´s ruthless hand, Bending her nerveless neck to vaunting power, While fraud and carnage ruled the fatal hour; And how her patriot sons indignant rose In martial phalanx ´gainst her haughty foes. In grim array their serried ranks withstood. And dyed the russet heath with Southron blood, Or glorious fell, and, with their parting breath, Shouted their slogan - "Victory or Death!" How he, the Hero of a hundred songs - The stern-avenger of his country´s wrongs - Though baffled oft, yet, ever unsubdued, With martial skill the varying war pursued, Till laurel´d victory burst the enthralling coil, And smiling freedom blessed his native soil: To him my muse her rustic tribute pays, To him I dedicate my humble lays.
