ow might you see the tartars brave�察 �And plaids and plumage dance and wave�此 �Now see the bonnets sink and rise�察 �As his tough oar the rower plies�察 �See�察�flashing at each sturdy stroke�察 �The wave ascending into smoke�察 �See the proud pipers on the bow�察 �And mark the gaudy streamers flow From their loud chanters down�察�and sweep The furrowed bosom of the deep�察 �As�察�rushing through the lake amain�察 �They plied the ancient Highland strain。

Ever�察�as on they bore�察�more loud And louder rung the pibroch proud。 At first the sounds�察�by distance tame�察 �Mellowed along the waters came�察 �And�察�lingering long by cape and bay�察 �Wailed every harsher note away�察�Then bursting bolder on the ear�察 �The clan's shrill Gathering they could hear�察 �Those thrilling sounds that call the might Of old Clan´Alpine to the fight。 Thick beat the rapid notes�察�as when The mustering hundreds shake the glen�察 �And hurrying at the signal dread�察 �'Fine battered earth returns their tread。 Then prelude light�察�of livelier tone�察 �Expressed their merry marching on�察 �Ere peal of closing battle rose�察 �With mingled outcry�察�shrieks�察�and blows�察 �And mimic din of stroke and ward�察 �As broadsword upon target jarred�察 �And groaning pause�察�ere yet again�察 �Condensed�察�the battle yelled amain�此 �The rapid charge�察�the rallying shout�察 �Retreat borne headlong into rout�察 �And bursts of triumph�察�to declare Clan´Alpine's congestall were there。 Nor ended thus the strain�察�but slow Sunk in a moan prolonged and low�察 �And changed the conquering clarion swell For wild lament o'er those that fell。
XVIII。
The war´pipes ceased�察�but lake and hill Were busy with their echoes still�察 �And�察�when they slept�察�a vocal strain Bade their hoarse chorus wake again�察 �While loud a hundred clansmen raise Their voices in their Chieftain's praise。 Each boatman�察�bending to his oar�察 �With measured sweep the burden bore�察�In such wild cadence as the breeze Makes through December's leafless trees。 The chorus first could Allan know�察 �'Roderick Vich Alpine�察�ho� �fro��' And near�察�and nearer as they rowed�察 �Distinct the martial ditty flowed。

Boat Song
Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances� �Honored and blessed be the ever´green Pine� �Long may the tree�察�in his banner that glances�察 �Flourish�察�the shelter and grace of our line� �Heaven send it happy dew�察 �Earth lend it sap anew�察 �Gayly to bourgeon and broadly to grow�察 �While every Highland glen Sends our shout back again�察 �'Roderigh Vich Alpine dhu�撮察�ho� �ieroe��'
Ours is no sapling�察�chance´sown by the fountain��
Blooming at Beltane�察�in winter to fade�察�When the whirlwind has stripped every leaf on the mountain�察 �The more shall Clan´Alpine exult in her shade。 Moored in the rifted rock�察 �Proof to the tempest's shock�察 �Firmer he roots him the ruder it blow�察 �Menteith and Breadalbane�察�then�察 �Echo his praise again�察 �'Roderigh Vich Alpine dhu�察�ho� �ieroe��'
XX。
Proudly our pibroch has thrilled in Glen Fruin�察 �And Bannochar's groans to our slogan replied �察�Glen Luss and Ross´dhu�察�they are smoking in ruin�察 �And the best of Loch Lomond lie dead on her side。 Widow and Saxon maid Long shall lament our raid�察 �Think of Clan´Alpine with fear and with woe�察 �Lennox and Leven´glen Shake when they hear again�察�'Roderigh Vich Alpine dhu�察�ho� �ieroe��'
Row�察�vassals�察�row�察�for the pride of the Highlands� �Stretch to your oars for the ever´green Pine� �O that the rosebud that graces yon islands Were wreathed in a garland around him to twine� �O that some seedling gem�察 �Worthy such noble stem�察 �Honored and blessed in their shadow might grow� �Loud should Clan´Alpine then Ring from her deepmost glen�察 �Roderigh Vich Alpine dhu�察�ho� �ieroe��'

With all her joyful female band Had Lady Margaret sought the strand。 Loose on the breeze their tresses flew�察 �And high their snowy arms they threw�察 �As echoing back with shrill acclaim�察 �And chorus wild�察�the Chieftain's name�察 �While�察�prompt to please�察�with mother's art The darling passion of his heart�察 �The Dame called Ellen to the strand�察 �To greet her kinsman ere he land�此 �'Come�察�loiterer�察�come� �a Douglas thou�察 �And shun to wreathe a victor's brow��' Reluctantly and slow�察�the maid The unwelcome summoning obeyed�察 �And when a distant bugle rung�察 �In the mid´path aside she sprung�此�'List�察�Allan´bane� �From mainland cast I hear my father's signal blast。 Be ours��' she cried�察�' the skiff to guide�察 �And waft him from the mountain´side。' Then�察�like a sunbeam�察�swift and bright�察 �She darted to her shallop light�察�And�察�eagerly while Roderick scanned�察 �For her dear form�察�his mother's band�察 �The islet far behind her lay�察�And she had landed in the bay。
XXII。
Some feelings are to mortals given With less of earth in them than heaven�察 �And if there be a human tear From passion's dross refined and clear�察 �A tear so limpid and so meek It would not stain an angel's cheek�察 �'Tis that which pious fathers shed Upon a duteous daughter's head� �And as the Douglas to his breast His darling Ellen closely pressed�察 �Such holy drops her tresses steeped�察 �Though 't was an hero's eye that weeped。 Nor while on Ellen's faltering tongue Her filial welcomes crowded hung�察 �Marked she that fearaffection's proof Still held a graceful youth aloof�察 �No� �not till Douglas named his name�察 �Although the youth was Malcolm Graeme。
XXIII。
Allan�察�with wistful look the while�察 �Marked Roderick landing on the isle�察 �His master piteously he eyed�察 �Then gazed upon the Chieftain's pride�察�Then dashed with hasty hand away From his dimmed eye the gathering spray�察 �And Douglas�察�as his hand he laid On Malcolm's shoulder�察�kindly said�此�'Canst thou�察�young friend�察�no meaning spy In my poor follower's glistening eye�拭 �I 'll tell thee��he recalls the day When in my praise he led the lay O'er the arched gate of Bothwell proud�察 �While many a minstrel answered loud�察 �When Percy's Norman pennon�察�won In bloody field�察�before me shone�察 �And twice ten knights�察�the least a name As mighty as yon Chief may claim�察 �Gracing my pomp�察�behind me came。 Yet trust me�察�Malcolm�察�not so proud Was I of all that marshalled crowd�察 �Though the waned crescent owned my might�察 �And in my train trooped lord and knight�察 �Though Blantyre hymned her holiest lays�察 �And Bothwell's bards flung back my praise�察 �As when this old man's silent tear�察 �And this poor maid's affection dear�察 �A welcome give more kind and true Than aught my better fortunes knew。 Forgive�察�my friend�察�a father's boast�察 �O�察�it out´beggars all I lost��'
XXIV。
Delightful praise��like summer rose�察 �That brighter in the dew´drop glows�察 �The bashful maiden's cheek appeared�察 �For Douglas spoke�察�and Malcolm heard。 The flush of shame´faced joy to hide�察 �The hounds�察�the hawk�察�her cares divide�察�The loved caresses of the maid The dogs with crouch and whimper paid�察 �And�察�at her whistle�察�on her hand The falcon took his favorite stand�察 �Closed his dark wing�察�relaxed his eye�察 �Nor�察�though unhooded�察�sought to fly。 And�察�trust�察�while in such guise she stood�察 �Like fabled Goddess of the wood�察 �That if a father's partial thought O'erweighed her worth and beauty aught�察 �Well might the lover's judgment fail To balance with a juster scale�察 �For with each secret glance he stole�察 �The fond enthusiast sent his soul。

Of stature fair�察�and slender frame�察 �But firmly knit�察�was Malcolm Graeme。 The belted plaid and tartan hose Did ne'er more graceful limbs disclose�察 �His flaxen hair�察�of sunny hue�察 �Curled closely round his bonnet blue。 Trained to the chase�察�his eagle eye The ptarmigan in snow could spy�察 �Each pass�察�by mountain�察�lake�察�and heath�察 �He knew�察�through Lennox and Menteith�察 �Vain was the bound of dark´ brown doe When Malcolm bent his sounding bow�察 �And scarce that doe�察�though winged with fear�察 �Outstripped in speed the mountaineer�此 �Right up Ben Lomond could he press�察 �And not a sob his toil confess。 His form accorded with a mind Lively and ardent�察�frank and kind�察�A blither heart�察�till Ellen came Did never love nor sorrow tame�察�It danced as lightsome in his breast As played the feather on his crest。 Yet friends�察�who nearest knew the youth His scorn of wrong�察�his zeal for truth And bards�察�who saw his features bold When kindled by the tales of old Said�察�were that youth to manhood grown�察 �Not long should Roderick Dhu's renown Be foremost voiced by mountain fame�察 �But quail to that of Malcolm Graeme。
XXVI。
Now back they wend their watery way�察 �And�察�'O my sire��' did Ellen say�察 �'Why urge thy chase so far astray�拭 �And why so late returned�拭�And why ' The rest was in her speaking eye。 'My child�察�the chase I follow far�察 �'Tis mimicry of noble war�察 �And with that gallant pastime reft Were all of Douglas I have left。 I met young Malcolm as I strayed Far eastward�察�in Glenfinlas' shade Nor strayed I safe�察�for all around Hunters and horsemen scoured the ground。 This youth�察�though still a royal ward�察 �Risked life and land to be my guard�察 �And through the passes of the wood Guided my steps�察�not unpursued�察 �And Roderick shall his welcome make�察 �Despite old spleen�察�for Doug
