Pibroch of
Donuil Dhu
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.
Come from deep glen, and
From mountain so rocky;
The war-pipe and pennon
Are at Inverlocky.
Come every hill-plaid, and
True heart that wears one,
Come every steel
blade, and
Strong hand that bears one.
Leave
untended the herd,
The flock without shelter;
Leave the corpse uninterr’d,
The bride at the altar;
Leave the deer, leave the steer,
Leave nets and
barges:
Come with your fighting gear,
Broadswords and targes.
Come as the winds come,
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!
Fast they come,
fast they come;
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!
