Any time she stretches herself
awakening across the highlands
the fog shies back, they're tentative companions

And beneath, the grass gleams
Curling up to sunshine and warmth
The vibrant thistles loom
A tribute to beauty, deadly sharp.

The flower of my Homeland
The able rugged queen
Foes be warned, for should you misstep,
Beware Scotland's wrath
