The Works of The Ettrick Shepherd | ||
In short, throughout each Highland clan
A spirit most indignant ran.
They could not brook their foes to see
Parade their streets unawed and free;
And from their cliff-borne camp they view'd
The march of these barbarians rude
Beneath their feet from day to day,
Like tigers growling o'er their prey.
A spirit most indignant ran.
They could not brook their foes to see
Parade their streets unawed and free;
And from their cliff-borne camp they view'd
The march of these barbarians rude
Beneath their feet from day to day,
Like tigers growling o'er their prey.
