Row, vassals, row, for the pride of the Highlands,

Stretch to your oars for the ever-green Pine!

O that the rose-bud that graces yon islands

Were wreathed in a garland around him to twine!

O that some seedling gem,

Worthy such noble stem,

Honour’d and bless’d in their shadow might grow!

Loud should Clan-Alpine then

Ring from the deepmost glen,

“Roderigh Vich Alpine dhu, ho! ieroe!”
