Flower of Scotland

O Flower of Scotland,

when will we see your like again

that fought and died for

your wee bit hill and glen.

And stood against him,

proud Edward's army

and sent him homeward

to think again.

The hills are bare now

and autumn leaves lie thick and still

O'er land that is lost now

which those so dearly held.

That stood against him

proud Edward's army

and sent him homeward

to think again.

Those days are past now

and in the past they must remain

but we can still see rise now

and be a nation again.

That stood against him

proud Edward's army

and sent him homeward

to think again.
