Stan Rogers Macdonnell on the Heights Lyrics:
[Another unsung hero of Canadian history...
The texts give a terribly sparse accounting of this man.
He was a Major under Brock, and apparently
not a very popular one. He was one of those
"good young men" form the "right" kind of family,
with the "right" kind of gentleman's education,
a law practice and te ear of influential people of the
day. There's nothing to indicate he was not a
decent sort, but somebody writing up the accounts
didn't want too much of the glory to be taken from
the General! Perhaps this is one way of
vindicating the historical vagaries of this
nation. It gives me no small amount of
satisfaction to think that more people will know
that there's more than just Brock under that huge
stone monument.]


Too thin the line that charged the Heights And
scrambled in the clay. Too thin the Eastern

Township Scot Who showed them all the way, And
perhaps had you not fallen, You might be what
Brock became But not one in ten thousand knows
your name. To say the name, McDonnell, It would
bring no bugle call But the Redcoats stayed beside
you When they saw the General fall. Twas
MacDonnell raised the banner then And set the
Heights aflame, But not one in ten thousand knows
your name. You brought the field all standing with
your courage and your luck But unknown to most,
you're lying there beside old General Brock. So
you know what it is to scale the Heights and fall
just short of fame And have not one in ten
thousand know your name. At Queenston now, the
General on his tower stands alone And there's
lichen on 'MacDonnell' carved upon that weathered
stone In a corner of the monument to glory you
could claim, But not one in ten thousand knows
your name. You brought the field all standing with
your courage and your luck But unknown to most,
you're lying there beside old General Brock. So
you know what it is to scale the Heights and fall
just short of fame And have not one in ten
thousand know your name.
