Luyện nghe bài hát Macdonnell On The Heights

[Another unsung hero of Canadian history . . . The texts give a terribly
of this man. He was a Major under Brock, and apparently not a very
popular one. He was one of those "good young men" the "right" kind of
with the "right" kind of gentleman's education, a law practise and te
ear of influential people of the day. there's to indicate he was not a
decent sort, but somebody up the accounts didn't want too much of the
glory to be taken from the General! Perhaps is one way of vindicating the
historical vagaries of this nation. It gives me no small of
to think that more people will know that there's more than just
Brock under huge stone monument.]
Too thin the line that the Heights
And in the clay.
Too thin the Eastern Scot
Who them all the way,
And had you not fallen,
You be what Brock became
But not one in ten thousand your name.
To say the name, MacDonnell,
It bring no bugle call
But the stayed beside you
When saw the General fall.
Twas MacDonnell the banner then
And set the aflame,
But not one in ten knows your name.
You brought the field all with your courage and your luck
But unknown to most, lying there beside old General Brock.
So you know what it is to scale the Heights and fall short of fame
And have not one in ten thousand your name.
At now, the General on his tower stands alone
And there's lichen on 'MacDonnell' upon that weathered stone
In a corner of the monument to you could claim,
But not one in ten thousand knows name.
You the field 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 the Heights and fall just short of fame
And not one in ten thousand know your name.
