Luyện nghe bài hát Macdonnell On The Heights

[Another unsung hero of history . . . The texts give a terribly sparse
accounting of this man. He was a Major under Brock, and apparently not a
popular one. He was one of those "good men" form the "right" kind of
family the "right" kind of gentleman's education, a law practise and te
ear of influential people of the day. nothing to indicate he was not a
decent sort, but somebody writing up the didn't want too much of the
glory to be taken from the General! Perhaps this is one way of the
historical of this nation. It gives me no small amount of
satisfaction to think that more people will know that more than just
Brock under that huge monument.]
Too the line that charged the Heights
And in the clay.
Too thin the Eastern Township
Who showed all the way,
And had you not fallen,
You be what Brock became
But not one in ten knows your name.
To say the name, MacDonnell,
It would bring no bugle
But the stayed beside you
When saw the General fall.
Twas MacDonnell raised the banner
And set the aflame,
But not one in ten knows your name.
You brought the field all standing with your courage and your
But unknown to most, you're lying there old General Brock.
So you know what it is to the Heights and fall just short of fame
And not one in ten thousand know your name.
At Queenston now, the General on his tower stands
And lichen on 'MacDonnell' carved upon that weathered stone
In a corner of the monument to glory you claim,
But not one in ten thousand knows name.
You brought the all standing with your courage and your luck
But unknown to most, you're there beside old General Brock.
So you know what it is to scale the Heights and fall just short of
And have not one in ten know your name.
