BLUEBELL OF SCOTLAND.
Of all that bloom in field or fell,O Scott of Scots, how passing well
The Scottish flow'r, the wild Bluebell,
May be assign'd to you.
On breezy heath it nods to greet
The happy rover's bounding feet,
Whose eye with welcome laughs to meet
The glance of kindly blue;
Or on some mouldering donjon tow'r
Waves in the wind its slender flow'r
Where 'scutcheon'd banners flew—
A bright existence, springing gay
From time's despoil and power's decay.
