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 Inverlochy.
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!
