I heard this song sung by the band Cliar not long ago. Have trawled the internet and books looking for the lyrics but cant find them anywhere! I no it was a poem and this is wat i found out about it but still cant find the words!!


Duncan Bàn MacIntyre was greatly distressed when, on visiting very familiar ground around the Misty Corrie, he witnessed a great change in the place. This song is, of course, in great contrast to his earlier song to the Misty Corrie (Oran Coire Cheathaich) , which abounds with life and spirit. MacIntyre puts the problem down to poor stewardship and curses the man given the task. Some things attributed to a mere man stretch the imagination - decay of wood, shrinking of waters etc, but the bard's displeasure and great dismay are powerfully demonstrated throughout the poem.
