| |
| PIBROCH of Donuil Dhu, | |
| Pibroch of Donuil, | |
| Wake thy wild voice anew, | |
| Summon Clan Conuil. | |
| Come away, come away, | 5 |
| Hark to the summons! | |
| Come in your war-array, | |
| Gentles and commons. | |
| |
| Come from deep glen, and | |
| From mountain so rocky; | 10 |
| The war-pipe and pennon | |
| Are at Inverlocky. | |
| Come every hill-plaid, and | |
| True heart that wears one; | |
| Come every steel blade, and | 15 |
| Strong hand that bears one. | |
| |
| Leave untended the herd, | |
| The flock without shelter; | |
| Leave the corpse uninterr'd, | |
| The bride at the altar; | 20 |
| Leave the deer, leave the steer, | |
| Leave nets and barges: | |
| Come with your fighting gear, | |
| Broadswords and targes. | |
| |
| Come as the winds come when | 25 |
| Forests are rended, | |
| Come as the waves come when | |
| Navies are stranded: | |
| Faster come, faster come, | |
| Faster and faster, | 30 |
| Chief, vassal, page, and groom, | |
| Tenant and master. | |
| |
| Fast they come, fast they come— | |
| See how they gather! | |
| Wide waves the eagle plume | 35 |
| Blended with heather. | |
| Cast your plaids, draw your blades, | |
| Forward each man set! | |
| Pibroch of Donuil Dhu, | |
| Knell for the onset! | 40 |
