Wild Thistles - Jacobite Rebellion

From A Waking Dream

by Emily Sharon Parker

To hunt the red deer

To hill-walk the green

Forty shades o'er the crags

Tickle trout from her streams

To bathe in a beck

To lay barley in

Gold eagle soar

O'er the kine in the glen

And this was my dream

Borne on night's velvet wings

Makes my heart skip its beat--

Makes my soul sing

Still it's only in dreams

Can I visit this place

Tis a place of the past

Gone without grace

I can track my salt tears

Down my face as I pray

That my people and dream

Will again have their day.
