Edinburgh after Flodden

News of battle | News of battle |

Hark! 'tis ringing down the street;

And the archways and the pavement

Bear the clang of hurrying feet.

News of battle! who hath brought it,

News of triumph! who shall bring

Tidings from our noble army,

Greetings from our gallant king

All last night we watched the bea

Blazing on the hills afar,

Each one bearing as it kindled,

Message of the open war,

All night long the northern stream

Shot across the trembling sky;

Fearful lights that never beacon

Save when kings or heroes die,

News of battle! who hath brought

All are thronging to the gate;

"Warder - warder! open quickley!
