The Bluebell of Scotland
The rose, summer’s emblem
’tis England’s chosen tree
And France decks her shield
with the stately Fluer-de-lis
But brighter, fairer far than these
There blooms a flower for me,
Tis the Bluebell, the Bluebell
On Scotland’s grassy lea
Where from the dark, up springs the lark
The rising sun to see!
Where from the dark, up springs the lark
The rising sun to see!My land! native land!
Where afar my steps have been,
Blue skies charm the eyes,
And the earth is ever green.
Yet dwelt my heart ‘mid Scotland’s glens,
Where aye in thought was seen,
The Bluebell, the Bluebell,
Amid the bracken green,
And brighter far than sun or star,
The eyes of bonnie Jean!
And brighter far than sun or star,
The eyes of bonnie Jean!The Thistle, Scotland’s badge
Up from Freedom’s soil it grew,
Her foes aye found it hedg’d round
With rosemarie and rue.
And, emblem that her daughters were modest, leal, and true,
From off the rocks, to deck their locks,
They pluck’d the Bell of Blue!
The Heathbell, the Harehell,
Old Scotland’s Bell of Blue!
The Heathbell, the Harebell,
Old Scotland’s Bell of Blue!
from Rampant Scotland
Tomorrow, the song and Arthur Pryor

It’s really well done! Respect to author
im typically jumping across the online world almost all of the day which means I have a tendency to peruse significantly, which unfortunately isn’t normally a good matter as some of the web sites I see are made up of unproductive waste copied from other internet sites a zillion times, however I gotta say this site is truely not bad at all and contains a lot of original content, for that reason many thanks for splitting the phenomena of exactly replicating other peoples’ sites
Thanks very good for report, I follow your blog:-)
Interesting blog. It would be great if you can provide more details about it. Thanks you
hey there i posted a question a while back on the subject of exactly how to speed up my twilight eclipse website’s load time seeing that we employed the same theme at the time and somebody placed a remark responding to it on my web site a couple of days ago – if that was you I just wanted to say thank you, and if it wasn’t you then sorry to take the time you, but thanks anyway!
It wasn’t me, but I’m glad you got the answer you need!

Good article.
Oh also, liking your blog design. I used to have a similar designed blog myself before I sold it on.
