TO SCOTLAND
Our fathers served thee well: with brain and hand
Through long, laborious, unrelenting years
They built a nation in this land of ours.
This austere land which takes our joy and pain
And makes them hers, and gives them back again
So that we all are one. One with our land,
With present, future, past, one with each other
In our high intent of service to our Scotland.

E.V.B.
