Both Sides the Tweed
What's a spring-breathing jasmine and rose,
What's a summer, with all it's gay train,
What's the splendour of autumn, to those
Who've barter'd their freedom for gain?
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed;
Let friendship and honour unite,
And flourish on both sides the Tweed.
No sweetness the senses can cheer,
Which corruption and bribery blind;
No brightness that gloom e'er can clear,
For honour's the sun of the mind.
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed;
Let friendship and honour unite,
And flourish on both sides the Tweed.
Let virtue distinguish the brave,
Place riches in lowest degree;
Think them poorest who can be a slave,
Them richest who dare to be free.
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed;
Let friendship and honour unite,
And flourish on both sides the Tweed.
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed;
Let friendship and honour unite,
And flourish on both sides the Tweed.
What's a summer, with all it's gay train,
What's the splendour of autumn, to those
Who've barter'd their freedom for gain?
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed;
Let friendship and honour unite,
And flourish on both sides the Tweed.
No sweetness the senses can cheer,
Which corruption and bribery blind;
No brightness that gloom e'er can clear,
For honour's the sun of the mind.
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed;
Let friendship and honour unite,
And flourish on both sides the Tweed.
Let virtue distinguish the brave,
Place riches in lowest degree;
Think them poorest who can be a slave,
Them richest who dare to be free.
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed;
Let friendship and honour unite,
And flourish on both sides the Tweed.
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed;
Let friendship and honour unite,
And flourish on both sides the Tweed.
