THE THISTLE OF SCOTLAND.
(Written for the Caledonian Society of Toronto.)
Give France her flaunting fleur-de-lis,
England her damask rose;
Let Ireland love the triple leaf
That on her greensward blows.
The land that nurtured Robert Bruce,
Where Wallace won his name,
Must find a sterner emblem flower
To symbol Scotland's fame.
Go, search her rugged mountain sides,
Her banks and braes so fair,
