The Return (A Piper's Vaunting) by James Pittendrigh Macgillivray 1856-1938
Och hey! for the splendour of tartans! And hey for the dirk and the targe! The race that was hard as the Spartans Shall return again to the charge: Shall come back again to the heather, Like eagles, with beak and with claws To take and to scatter for ever The Sasennach thieves and their laws. Och, then, for the bonnet and feather! The pipe and its vaunting clear: Och, then, for the glens and the heather! And all that the Gael holds dear.
