"Meaning of the Colors of the Bell of the Borders' Tartan" by William H. Bell

BLACK is for the Border and in Remembrance of our Dead.
BLUE is for the Sky above and the Oceans o'er we fled.
GREEN is for the Border's hue and the Promise of Nature's Plan.
RED is for the Blood we've shed, our courage and elan. 
YELLOW is the Sunburst,
Our Honor shinning bright for all to tell,
That soon, with Justice proper,
The Re-establishment of CLAN BELL!
