Luyện nghe bài hát Macdonnell On The Heights

[Another hero of Canadian history . . . The texts give a terribly sparse
accounting of this man. He was a under Brock, and apparently not a very
popular one. He was one of those "good young men" form the "right" of
family the "right" kind of gentleman's 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 up the accounts didn't want too much of the
glory to be from the General! Perhaps this is one way of vindicating the
historical vagaries of nation. It gives me no small amount of
satisfaction to think that more people will know that there's more than
Brock under huge stone monument.]
Too the line that charged the Heights
And in the clay.
Too thin the Eastern Township
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 bring no bugle call
But the Redcoats stayed 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 standing with your courage and luck
But unknown to most, you're 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 know your name.
At now, the General on his tower stands alone
And there's lichen on carved upon that weathered stone
In a corner of the monument to glory you claim,
But not one in ten thousand your name.
You brought the field all standing with your courage and luck
But unknown to most, you're lying there beside old Brock.
So you what it is to scale the Heights and fall just short of fame
And not one in ten thousand know your name.
