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
