The Scottish Natural ist. 41 



The Alpine Speedwell's glorious blue, 

 The mossy Campion's rose-red hue, 

 Azalea and Mountain Meadow-Rue, 

 Salix herbacea floreat ! 



Adown the dark cliffs mossy side 

 The sea-green Rose-root's scattered wide ; 

 The Holly ferns in crannies hide, 

 Salix herbacea floreat ! 



" Upon the mountain ledges green," 

 The Saxifrage's purple sheen 

 In many a splendid patch is seen, 

 Salix herbacea floreat ! 



And thou, blest Linne's own dear flower, 

 Dwelling now in some woodland bower, 

 Now where the Alpine summits tower, 

 Salix herbacea floreat ! 



Up, brothers, up, scale ye the height ! 

 He who ascends is in the right ! 

 Below 'tis dark, above 'tis light ! 

 Salix herbacea floreat ! 



The master issues his command, 

 *' Leave far below the Lotus land ! 

 Around the cairn take your stand ! " 

 Salix herbacea floreat ! 



At last around the stones so gray, 

 From whence the master holds his sway. 

 The pilgrim band their footsteps stay, 

 Salix herbacea floreat ! 



" Fill up the quaigh with mountain-dew ! 

 Hand to each brother old and new, 

 And bid him say in accents true, 



' Salix herbacea floreat ! '" 



The master calls upon his men 

 To fill the quaigh up once again, 

 " To all friends round Lawers' mighty Ben ! 

 Salix herbacea floreat ! 



*' Fill, quaighman, fill up as before ! 

 We drink to those who are no more, 

 Who climbed the hills with us of yore ! 

 Salix herbacea floreat ! "
