Scotland: Vols. VI–VIII. 1876–79. | | | | Crawfurdland | | Farewell to Crawfurdland | | John Ramsay (b. 1802) |
| | | THOU dark stream slow wending thy deep rocky way, | |
| Ye gray towers that rise o’er the daffodil brae, | |
| I ’ve viewed you with pleasure, but now must with pain— | |
| Farewell! for I never may see you again. | |
| |
| Ye woods where in life’s gladsome morning I strayed, | 5 |
| When all was in sunshine and beauty arrayed; | |
| That dream has departed, how fleeting and vain— | |
| Farewell! for I never may see you again. | |
| |
| O’er moss and o’er moorland my path soon shall be, | |
| The cloud-covered mountain and wide stormy sea, | 10 |
| Your beauties will gladden some happier swain— | |
| Farewell! for I never may see you again. | | | | |
