Cawdor And Widdershins - Amazing Blondel

Cold wind 'cross Cawdor’s keep

won’t waken wild John’s sleep

Wild places, dark scree faces

the stag’s roar, by Cawdor sounds

the rut’s strathspey.

White snow sky, corbies hard cry

Red Grouse call, come nightfall

send the day away!

Highland hunting tower, guards the glen,

Banquo’s spirit power stalks the night again,

at Cawdor, Cawdor, Cawdor.

Grey geese skein, song to dead thane

His pibroch «The Quiet Loch» rises on the mist.

Cruel Claymore, bloodshed, clan war.

No reprieving, cattle rieving, avenged

with the dirk’s twist.
