*Um die aufkeimende Freundschaft zu Lillemark nicht zu belasten und da es für das Royal Realm hier noch nicht mal mehr um die Wurscht geht, verzichtet man auf das Absingen von 'Verns wha hae' und stimmt das passendere 'Verness the brave' an.*
Hark when the night is falling
Hear! hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling,
Down thro' the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits
of the old Highland men.
Towering in gallant fame,
Verness my mountain hame,
High may your proud
standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Verness the brave!
High in the misty Highlands,
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Vernish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines
from fair maiden's eyes.
Towering in gallant fame,
Verness my mountain hame,
High may your proud
standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Verness the brave!
Far off in sunlit places,
Sad are the Vernish faces,
Yearning to feel the kiss
Of sweet Vernis rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming,
Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again
Towering in gallant fame,
Verness my mountain hame,
High may your proud
standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Verness the brave!
