Ceann-cinnidh
(Gaelic for head of
the family)
Like his viking ancestors
before him,
He settled by the
sea;
Highland blood coursed
through his veins,
And he lived virtuously.
Dark-haired descendant
of Dougall of Lorn,
He proudly wore the
crest;
But his way of life
was not by the sword,
Peace was his only
quest.
He was the chief and
we were his clan,
A powerful close-knit
group;
Like in the days before
Robert the Bruce
Made the clan MacDougall
stoop.
He was brave in his
final battle,
Angels from heaven
were sent,
And they listened
to the dirge of the bagpipes
Playing their last
lament.
