Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scotia´s Bards: The Choice Productions of the Scottish Poets, With Brief Biographical Sketches Scotland, through thy wide domain, What hill or vale or river, But in this fond enthusiast heart Has found a place forever? R. Chambers. Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood, Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e´er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand! Scott. Land of my fathers! though no mangrove here O´er thy blue streams her flexile branches rear; Nor scaly palm her finger´d scions shoot; Nor luscious guava wave her yellow fruit; Nor golden apples glimmer from the tree; - Land of dark heath and mountain, thou art free! Leyden. I may, perhaps, (each generous purpose crossed,) Forget the higher aims for which I´ve strain´d, Calmly resign the hopes I priz´d the most, And learn cold cautions I have long disdained; But my heart must be calmer - colder yet - Ere thee, my native land! I can forget. Pringle. Yes, I may love the music of strange tongues! And mould my heart anew to take the stamp Of foreign friendships in a foreign land; But to my parched mouth´s roof cleave this tongue. My fancy fade into the yellow leaf, And this oft-pausing heart forget to throb, If, Scotland! thee and thine I e´er forget. Grahame.
