Come, hear the woodland linnet,
How sweet his music! on my life,
There's more of wisdom in it.

Give unto me, made lowly wise, The spirit of self-sacrifice; The confidence of reason give, And in the light of truth thy bondman let me live!

O for a single hour of that Dundee, Who on that day the word of onset gave!

Duty were our games.
