Dawn freshens her climb is done 
Scotland she becomes gentle snow but falls 
Glasgow once more
Streets of beautiful calls 
Home of love once more 
Scotland forever more.

Mountains are in bloom;
  Spring flowers flutter in breeze
  This year's lambs are born.

amidst Autumns creeping turn
King Arthur's seat, proud
