Whose is that noble, dauntless brow?And whose that eye of fire?And whose that generous princely mien,E’en rooted foes admire?
Stranger! to justly show that brow,And mark that eye of fire,Would take His hand, whose vernal tintsHis other works admire.
Bright as a cloudless summer sun,With stately port he moves;His guardian Seraph eyes with aweThe noble Ward he loves.
Among the illustrious Scottish sonsThat chief thou may’st discern,Mark Scotia’s fond-returning eye,—It dwells upon Glencairn.
