Luyện nghe bài hát Macdonnell On The Heights

[Another unsung hero of Canadian history . . . The texts give a sparse
accounting of this man. He was a Major under Brock, and apparently not a
popular one. He was one of "good young men" form the "right" kind of
family with the "right" kind of gentleman's education, a law and te
ear of influential of the day. there's 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 vagaries of this nation. It gives me no small of
satisfaction to that more people will know that there's more than just
Brock under huge stone monument.]
Too thin the that charged the Heights
And in the clay.
Too thin the Eastern Scot
Who them all the way,
And had you not fallen,
You might be what Brock
But not one in ten knows your name.
To say the name, MacDonnell,
It would no bugle call
But the Redcoats beside you
When they saw the fall.
MacDonnell raised the banner then
And set the aflame,
But not one in ten knows your name.
You brought the field all standing your courage and your luck
But unknown to most, you're lying beside 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.
At now, the General on his tower stands alone
And there's on 'MacDonnell' carved upon that weathered stone
In a corner of the to glory you could claim,
But not one in ten thousand your name.
You brought the field all standing your courage 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 just short of fame
And have not one in ten know your name.
