THE FIERY CROSS OF CLAN ALPIN

"When flits this cross from man to man, Vich Alpin's summons to his Clan, Woe to the Glansman who shall view This symbol of sepuchral yew, Forgetful that its branches grew On Alpin's dwelling place. Fast as the fatal symbol flies, In arms the huts and hamlets rise; From winding glen, from upland brown, Thq .ptqwd ewh hwdy tenrtsf d~-. Nor slaked the memnger his pace; He showed the sign, he named the place,"

"While there's leaves in the forest, and foam on the river, ..MacGregor, despite them, shall flourish forever; Then gather, gather, gather, Grigalach !"
