Hail, ye hills and heaths of Ecclefechan!
Hail, ye banks and braes of Craigenputtock!
T. Carlyle was born in Ecclefechan,
Jane his wife was born in Craigenputtock:
She—a pearl where eye detect no speck can,
He—ordained to close with and cross-buttock
Cant, the giant—these, O Ecclefechan,
These your glories be, O Craigenputtock!
