There gleams a highland sword;

Is not yon form the Stewart, say,—

Yon, Scotland's Martial Lord?

Douglas, with Arran's stranger chief,

And Moray's earl, are there;

Whilst drops of blood, for tears of grief,

The coming strife declare.

Oh! red th' autumnal heath-bells blow

Within thy vale, Strathearne;

But redder far, ere long, shall glow
