Bannockburn |
| Unflincing foot 'gainst foot was set |
| Unceasing blow by blow was met |
| The groans of those who fell |
| Were drown’d amid the shriller clang |
| That from the blades and harness rang |
| And in the battle-yell |
| Yet fast they fell, unheard, forgot |
| Both Southern fierce and hardy Scot |
| And O! |
| amid that waste of life |
| What various motives fired the strife! |
| The aspiring noble bled for fame |
| The patriot for his country’s claim |
| This knight his youthful strength to prove |
| And that to win his lady’s love |
| Some fought from ruffian thirst of blood |
| From habit some, or hardihood |
| But ruffian stern, and soldier good |
| The nobl and the slave |
| From various cause th same wild road |
| On the same bloody morning, trode |
| To that dark inn, the grave! |
