��Come as the winds come when
Forests are rended, Come as the waves come when
Navies are stranded : Faster come, faster come,
Faster and faster, Chief, vassal, page and groom,
Tenant and master.
Fast they come, fast they come;
See how they gather ! Wide waves the eagle plume
Blended with heather. Cast your plaids, draw your blades,
Forward each man set! Pibroch of Donuil Dhu,
Knell for the onset !
���'WHY sitt'st thou by that ruined hall, Thou aged carle so stern and grey?
Dost thou its former pride recall, Or ponder how it passed away ? '
'Know'st thou not me? ' the Deep Voice cried;
'So long enjoyed, so often misused, Alternate, in thy fickle pride,
Desired, neglected, and accused !
