Nae man can tether time or tide; The hour approaches Tam maun ride; That hour, o...
Σελίδα 207 - Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! 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!
