We have praised in song and story,
Those who bravely fought and fell,
For Old England's might and glory,
For the Queen they love so well.
And shall we this time be silent
O thou clansman firm and true,
Shall not loyal brave Glengarry,
Through her tears feel proud of you

Thou hast met the grimmest foe;
Christ-like stood by the forsaken
Stood till death has laid thee low.
Praise thy sons, dear old Glengarry,
Prompt to do, calm to endure;
And among your very noblest,
Set God's hero Norman Dewar.
