1
Away ye grey landscapes, ye gardens o' roses
2
In you let the minions of luxury rove
3
And restore me the rocks where the snowflake reposes
4
If still they are sacred to freedom and love
5
Brave Caledonia, dear are thy mountains
6
Round their white summits though elements war
7
Though cataracts roar 'stead of smooth-flowing fountains
8
I sigh for the valley o' dark Lochnagar
9
Ah! there my young footsteps in infancy wandered
10
My cap was the bonnet, my cloak was the plaid
11
On chieftains departed my memory lingered
12
As daily I strayed through the pine-covered glade
13
I sought not my home till the day's dying glory
14
Gave place to the rays o' the bright polar star
15
My fancy was cheered by the bold martial story
16
As told by the sons o' dark Lochnagar
17
Years have rolled on, Lochnagar, since I left you
18
Years must roll on ere I see you again
19
Though Nature of verdure and flowers bereft you
20
Yet still art thou dearer than Albion's plain
21
England! thy beauties are tame and domestic
22
To one who has roved on the mountains afar
23
Oh for the crags that are wild and majestic
24
The steep frowning glories o' wild Lochnagar
25
Brave Caledonia, dear are thy mountains
26
I sigh for the valley o' dark Lochnagar
27
Ill-starred now the brave, did no vision foreboding
28
Tell you that fate had forsaken our cause?
29
Yet were you destined to die at Culloden
30
Though victory crowned not your fall with applause
31
Yet were you happy in death's earthly slumber
32
To sleep wi' your clan in the caves of Braemar
33
The pibroch resounds to the piper's loud number
34
Your deeds to the echoes of wild Lochnagar
35
Brave Caledonia, dear are thy mountains
36
I sigh for the valley o' dark Lochnagar
