mountains to follow Prince Charlie? Follow thee! follow thee! wha wadna follow thee? Lang hast thou loved and trusted us fairly! Charlie, Charlie, wha wadna follow thee, King o' the Highland hearts, bonnie Prince Charlie? I hae but ae son, my gallant young Donald; But if I had ten they should follow Glengarry! Health to M'Donnell and gallant Clan-Ronald-- For these are the men that will die for their Charlie! Follow thee! follow thee! &c. I 'll to Lochiel and Appin, and kneel to them, Down by Lord Murray, and Roy of Kildarlie; Brave M'Intosh, he shall fly to the field with them, These are the lads I can trust wi' my Charlie! Follow thee! follow thee! &c. Down through the Lowlands, down wi' the Whigamore! Loyal true Highlanders, down wi' them rarely!

THE SKYLARK.[52] Bird of the wilderness, Blithesome and cumberless, Sweet be thy matin o'er moorland and lea! Emblem of happiness, Bless'd is thy dwelling-place-- O to abide in the desert with thee! Wild is thy lay and loud, Far in the downy cloud, Love gives it energy, love gave it birth. Where on thy dewy wing, Where art thou journeying? Thy lay is in heaven, thy love is on earth. O'er fell and mountain sheen, O'er moor and mountain green, O'er the red streamer that heralds the day, Over the cloudlet dim, Over the rainbow's rim, Musical cherub, soar, singing, away! Then, when the gloaming comes, Low in the heather blooms, Sweet will thy welcome and bed of love be! Emblem of happiness, Blest is thy dwelling-place-- O to abide in the desert with thee! [52] For the fine original air, see Purdie's "Border Garland."--_Hogg._ CALEDONIA.[53] Caledonia! thou land of the mountain and rock, Of the ocean, the mist, and the wind-- Thou land of the torrent, the pine, and the oak, Of the roebuck, the hart, and the hind: Though bare
