Rh (Lord, it was a fearsome day!)

To right and left we looked upon

All the lands of Stevenson—

Moidart, Morven, and Ardgour,

Ardshiel, Appin, and Mamore—

If their tale you wish to learn

Then to 'Kidnapped' you must turn.

Strange that one man's eager brain

Can make those dead lands live again!

From the deck we saw Glencoe,

Where upon that night of woe

William's men did such a deed

As even now we blush to read.

Ben Nevis towered on our right,

The clouds concealed it from our sight,

But it was comforting to say

That over there Ben Nevis lay.

Finally we made the land

At Fort William's sloping strand,
