DARK Lily without blame, | |
| Not upon us the shame, | |
| Whose sires were to the Auld Alliance true; | |
| They, by the Maiden’s side, | |
| Victorious fought and died; | 5 |
| One stood by thee that fiery torment through, | |
| Till the White Dove from thy pure lips had passed, | |
| And thou wert with thine own St. Catherine at the last. | |
| |
| Once only didst thou see, | |
| In artists imagery, | 10 |
| Thine own face painted, and that precious thing | |
| Was in an Archer’s hand | |
| From the leal Northern land. | | | |
