An' hear us squeal!

Great is thy pow'r, an' great thy fame;

Far kenn'd an' noted is thy name;

An', tho' yon lowin' heugh's thy hame, flaming pit

Thou travels far;

An' faith! thou's neither lag nor lame, backward

Nor blate nor scaur. shy, afraid

Whyles rangin' like a roarin' lion

For prey, a' holes an' corners tryin';

Whyles on the strong-wing'd tempest flyin',
