So bravely who bore him,
With the roar of the war pipe
Loud thundering before him.
His emblem the pine tree
On mountain side swinging;
His trim-tapered arrows
The true bird was winging.”
And so on in very much the same strain for other nine verses.
There is another tune of the “Children of the Mist,” as the Clan Mac Gregor were known, that deserves mention. It is a wild and melancholy pibroch, called Cruachan a’ Cheathaich, or
“THE BRAES OF THE MIST.”
