The Master of Stair

by Marjorie Bowen

Of man and horse together

As with flying harness gleaming

They ride the trampled heather

Through the homes o’ the Macdonalds

Who lie defenseless, dumb,

Through the spilt blood o’ the Macdonalds

The victor Campbells come.

Now shall the Glen o’ Weeping,

The Valley o’ Glencoe,

When our noble heirs are reaping
