Pibroch of Donuil DhuSir Walter Scott (17711832)
P
Pibroch of Donuil,
Wake thy wild voice anew,
Summon Clan Conuil.
Come away, come away,
Hark to the summons!
Come in your war array,
Gentles and commons.
From mountain so rocky,
The war-pipe and pennon
Are at Inverlochy.
Come every hill-plaid,
And true heart that wears one;
Come every steel blade,
And strong hand that bears one!
The flock without shelter;
Leave the corpse uninterred,
The bride at the altar;
Leave the deer, leave the steer,
Leave nets and barges:
Come with your fighting gear,
Broadswords and targes.
When forests are rended;
Come as the waves come
When navies are stranded:
Faster come, faster come,
Faster and faster,
Chief, vassal, page, and groom,
Tenant and master.
See how they gather!
Wide waves the eagle plume
Blended with heather.
Cast your plaids, draw your blades,
Forward each man set!
Pibroch of Donuil Dhu,
Knell for the onset!
