I stood upon the Plain	A
That had trembled when the slain	A
Hurled their proud defiant curses at the battle heated foe	B
When the steed dashed right and left	C
Through the bloody gaps he cleft	C
When the bridle rein was broken and the rider was laid low	B
	-
What busy feet had trod	D
Upon the very sod	D
Where I marshalled the battalions of my fancy to my aid	E
And I saw the combat dire	F
Heard the quick incessant fire	G
And the cannons' echoes startling the reverberating glade	E
	-
I saw them one and all	H
The banners of the Gaul	H
In the thickest of the contest round the resolute Montcalm	I
The well attended Wolfe	J
Emerging from the gulf	K
Of the battle's fiery furnace like the swelling of a psalm	I
	-
I heard the chorus dire	F
That jarred along the lyre	F
On which the hymn of battle rung like surgings of the wave	L
When the storm at blackest night	M
Wakes the ocean in affright	M
As it shouts its mighty pibroch o'er some shipwrecked vessel's grave	L
	-
I saw the broad claymore	N
Flash from its scabbard o'er	G
The ranks that quailed and shuddered at the close and fierce attack	O
When Victory gave the word	M
Then Scotland drew the sword	M
And with arm that never faltered drove the brave defenders back	O
	-
I saw two great chiefs die	M
Their last breaths like the sigh	M
Of the zephyr sprite that wantons on the rosy lips of morn	P
No envy poisoned darts	Q
No rancour in their hearts	Q
To unfit them for their triumph over death's impending scorn	P
	-
And as I thought and gazed	M
My soul exultant praised	M
The Power to whom each mighty act and victory are due	M
	-
For the saint like Peace that smiled	M
Like a heaven gifted child	M
And for the air of quietude that steeped the distant view	M
	-
The sun looked down with pride	M
And scattered far and wide	M
His beams of whitest glory till they flooded all the Plain	A
The hills their veils withdrew	M
Of white and purplish blue	M
And reposed all green and smiling 'neath the shower of golden rain	A
	-
Oh rare divinest life	R
Of Peace compared with Strife	R
Yours is the truest splendour and the most enduring fame	I
All the glory ever reaped	M
Where the fiends of battle leaped	M
Is harsh discord to the music of your undertoned acclaim	I
