Away, ye gay landscapes, ye garden of roses
In you let the minions of luxury rove
Restore me the rocks, where the snowflake reposes
While yet they are sacred to freedom and love
Yet, Caledonia, beloved are thy mountains
Round their white summits though elements war
Though cataracts foam 'stead of smooth-flowing fountains
I sigh for the valley of dark Lochnagar

Brave Caledonia, beloved are thy mountains
I sigh for the valley of dark Lochnagar

Ah! there my young footsteps in infancy wandered
My cap was the bonnet, my cloak was the plaid
On chieftains long perished my memory pondered
As daily I strode through the pine-covered glade
I sought not my home till the day's dying glory
Gave place to the rays of the bright polar star
For fancy was cheered by traditional story
Disclosed by the natives of dark Lochnagar

Brave Caledonia, beloved are thy mountains
I sigh for the valley of dark Lochnagar

Shades of the dead! have I not heard your voices
Rise on the night-rolling breath of the gale
Surely the soul of the hero rejoices
And rides on the wind o'er his own Highland vale
Round Lochnagar where the stormy mist gathers
Winter presides in his cold icy car
Clouds there encircle the forms of my fathers
They dwell in the tempests of dark Lochnagar

Brave Caledonia, beloved are thy mountains
I sigh for the valley of dark Lochnagar

Years have rolled on, Lochnagar, since I left you
Years must elapse ere I tread you again
Nature of verdure and flowers has bereft you
Yet still are you dearer than Albion's plain
England! thy beauties are tame and domestic
To one who has roved o'er the mountains afar
Oh for the crags that are wild and majestic
The steep frowning glories of dark Loch na Garr

Brave Caledonia, beloved are thy mountains
I sigh for the valley of dark Lochnagar
