Lyrics:
I know that I shall meet my fateSomewhere among the clouds aboveThose that I fight I do not hateThose that I guard not loveMy country is Kiltartan CrossMy countrymen Kiltartan's poorNo likely end could bring them lossOr leave them happier than beforeNor law, nor duty bade me fightNor public men, nor cheering crowdsA lonely impulse of delightDrove to this tumult in the cloudsI balanced all, brought all to mindThe years to come seemed waste of breathA waste of breath the years behindIn balance with this life, this death
