Luyện nghe bài hát Macdonnell On The Heights

[Another unsung hero of Canadian history . . . The texts give a sparse
accounting of 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
family with the "right" kind of education, a law practise and te
ear of people of the day. there's nothing to indicate he was not a
decent sort, but somebody writing up the accounts didn't want too of the
glory to be taken the General! Perhaps this is one way of vindicating the
historical vagaries of this nation. It gives me no small of
satisfaction to think that more people 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 Township Scot
Who showed all the way,
And had you not fallen,
You might be what Brock
But not one in ten thousand your name.
To say the name, MacDonnell,
It would bring no bugle
But the stayed beside you
they saw the General fall.
Twas raised the banner then
And set the aflame,
But not one in ten thousand knows name.
You brought the field all standing with your courage and your
But unknown to most, you're lying there beside old Brock.
So you know what it is to scale the Heights and fall just of fame
And have not one in ten 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 lying there beside old Brock.
So you know it is to scale the Heights and fall just short of fame
And not one in ten thousand know your name.
