THE^GATHERING OF THE CLANS.

From many a strath, and moor they come, that's fanned by Norland
breeze,

From where the wild Atlantic breaks upon the Hebrides ;
From Fifeshire, where the golfers play beside the foaming' Forth ;
From Sutherlandshire, where the winds come howling from the
North;

From Perthshire and from Lanarkshire the gallant troops will press,
And Aberdeen will fraternise with lads from Inverness.

They gather at the Queen's command where Arthur's Seat looks
down,

A couchant lion keeping watch o'er all the ancient town ;
They show that Scottish faith is leal, and Scottish hearts as bold,
As when, beneath Saint Andrew's Cross, they warred with us of
old.

But lo! the ancient feuds are o'er, and Scotch and English ride
Together, 'neath one banner now, to battle side by side!
