Excerpt from A Sough O' War The corn was turnin', hairst was near, But lang afore the scythes could start A sough 0' war gaed through the land An' stirred it to its benmost heart. Nae ours the blame, but when it came We couldna pass the challenge by, For credit 0' our honest name There could be but the ac reply. An' buirdly men, fae strath an' glen, An' shepherds fae the bucht an' hill, Will show them a', whate'er befa', Auld Scotland counts for something still.
