When bright blades are flashing o'er me ; When the war-pipe is sounding, sounding, And the banners are flapping o'er me. Good art thou in the stalking of deer, When peaks are red with the young day dawning ; Mild art thou with sober cheer. When going to church on Sunday morning. I with thee would lie on the heather. Closely wrapt to keep me warm, Safe within thy folds defying Batter of rain and bray of storm.
