Then up spake a Scottish maiden. With her ear unto the ground : " Dinna ye hear it ? — dinna ye hear it . '' The pipes of Havelock sound ! " Hushed the wounded man his groaning ; Hushed the wife her little ones ; Alone they heard the drum-roll And the roar of Sepoy guns. But to sounds of home and childhood The Highland ear was true ; — As her mother's cradle-crooning The mountain pipes she knew. > Like the march of soundless music Through the vision of the seer, >w «^ >w BOOK OF HIGHLAND VERSE.... More of feeling than of hearing. Of the heart than of the ear. She knew the droning pibroch, She knew the Campbell's call : " Hark ! hear ye no' Mac Gregor's — The grandest o' them all ! " Oh, they listened, dumb and breathless, And they caught the sound at last ; Faint and far beyond the Goomtee Rose and fell the piper's blast ! Then a burst of wild thanksgiving Mingled woman's voice and man's : " God be praised !— the march of Havelock The piping of the Clans ! " Louder, nearer, fierce as vengeance.
