Poem
All hail to the Empress of India, Great Britain's Queen-- Long may she live in health, happy and serene-- That came from London, far away, To review the Scottish Volunteers in grand array: Most magnificent to be seen, Near by Salisbury Crags and its pastures green, Which will long be remembered by our gracious Queen-- And by the Volunteers, that came from far away, Because it rain'd most of the day. And with the rain their clothes were wet all through, On the 25th day of August, at the Royal Review. And to the Volunteers it was no lark, Because they were ankle deep in mud in the Queen's Park, Which proved to the Queen they were loyal and true, To ensure such hardships at the Royal Review. Oh! it was a most beautiful scene To see the Forfarshire Artillery matching past the Queen: Her Majesty with their steady marching felt content, Especially when their arms to her they did present. And the Inverness Highland Volunteers seemed verygran', And marched by steady to a man Amongst the mud without dismay, And the rain pouring down on them all the way. And the bands they did play, God Save the Queen, Near by Holyrood Palace and the Queen's Park so green. Success to our noble Scottish Volunteers! I hope they will be spared for many long years, And to Her Majesty always prove loyal and true, As they have done for the second time at the Royal Review. To take them in general, they behaved very well, The more that the rain fell on them pell-mell. They marched by Her Majesty in very grand array, Which will be remembered for many a long day, Bidding defiance to wind and rain, Which adds the more fame to their name. And I hope none of them will have cause to rue The day that they went to the Royal Review. And I'm sure Her Majesty ought to feel proud, And in her praise she cannot speak too loud, Because the more that it did rain they did not mourn, Which caused Her Majesty's heart with joy to burn, Because she knew they were loyal and true For enduring such hardships at the Royal Review.
