The obliterating seasons flow- They cannot kill our boyish game.Though creeds may change and kings may go, Yet burns undimmed the ancient flame.While young men in their pride make haste The wrong to right, the bond to free,And plant a garden in the waste, Still rides our Scottish chivalry. When we were little wandering boys, And every hill was blue and high,On ballad ways and martial joys We fed our fancies, you and I.With Bruce we crouched in bracken shade, With Douglas charged the Paynim foes And oft in moorland noons I played Colkitto to your grave Montrose.
