Scotland: Vols. VI–VIII. 1876–79. | | | | Castle-Gordon | | The Young Highland Rover | | Robert Burns (1759–1796) |
| | | LOUD blaw the frosty breezes, | |
| The snaws the mountains cover; | |
| Like winter on me seizes, | |
| Since my young Highland Rover | |
| Far wanders nations over. | 5 |
| Where’er he go, where’er he stray, | |
| May Heaven be his warden, | |
| Return him safe to fair Strathspey | |
| And bonny Castle-Gordon! | |
| |
| The trees now naked groaning | 10 |
| Soon shall wi’ leaves be hinging, | |
| The birdies dowie moaning, | |
| Shall a’ be blithely singing, | |
| And every flower be springing. | |
| Sae I ’ll rejoice the lee-lang day, | 15 |
| When by his mighty warden | |
| My youth ’s returned to fair Strathspey, | |
| And bonny Castle-Gordon. | | | | |
