| Who cometh from the hill like | B |

| To morrow the enormous Dargo comes | J |

| Fall indeed I may But raise my | B |
| tomb Crimora Some stones a mound | P |

| light more pleasant than the gale of | E |
| the hill yet I will not stay Raise my | B |

| Then give me those arms of light | P |
| that sword and that spear of steel I | B |
| shall meet Dargo with thee and aid my | B |
| lovely Connal Farewell ye rocks of | E |
| Ardven ye deer and ye streams of | E |
| the hill We shall return no more | A |
| Our tombs are distant far | A |
