Lone Piper

By the shores of the loch Lomond

a solitary piper does stand

silhouetted by the evening light

standing proud with bagpipe in hand

music floating across the waters

serenading all of nature

this symbol of Scottish tradition

creating an amazing a picture

colours reflected over the surface

as the dark shadows grow longer

music flows across the valley

while the light of the moon shines stronger

so as the sun dips below the mountains

and darkness spreading through the land

this lone piper continues to play

as the Scottish night takes command
