Luyện nghe bài hát Macdonnell On The Heights

[Another unsung hero of Canadian history . . . The texts a terribly sparse
accounting of this man. He was a Major Brock, and apparently not a very
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. there's to indicate he was not a
decent sort, but somebody writing up the accounts didn't want too of the
to be taken from the General! Perhaps this is one way of vindicating the
historical of this nation. It gives me no small amount of
satisfaction to think more people will know that there's more than just
Brock under that stone monument.]
Too thin the line that charged the
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 knows name.
To say the name, MacDonnell,
It bring no bugle call
But the Redcoats beside you
When 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 luck
But unknown to most, you're lying beside old General Brock.
So you know what it is to scale the Heights and 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 you could claim,
But not one in ten thousand your name.
You brought the field all standing with your and your luck
But unknown to most, you're lying there old General Brock.
So you know what it is to scale the Heights and fall just short of
And not one in ten thousand know your name.
