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 young men" form the "right" of
family with the "right" kind of gentleman's education, a law and te
ear of influential people of the day. there's nothing to he was not a
decent sort, but somebody writing up the didn't want too much 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 that people will know that there's more than just
under that huge stone monument.]
Too thin the line charged the Heights
And in the clay.
Too thin the Eastern Township
Who them all the way,
And had you not fallen,
You might be Brock became
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 MacDonnell raised the banner
And set the aflame,
But not one in ten thousand your name.
You brought the field all with 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 have not one in ten know your name.
At Queenston now, the General on his stands alone
And there's lichen on 'MacDonnell' upon that weathered stone
In a of the monument to glory you could claim,
But not one in ten knows 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 what it is to scale the Heights and fall just short of fame
And have not one in ten thousand know name.
