Their Grves OSweet Mrtle
their groves o'sweet myrtle tune—“humours of glen.” their groves o' sweet myrtle let fn lands re, where bright-beaming summers exalt the perfume; far dearer to me yon lone glen o' green bre, wi' the burn stealing uhe lang, yellow broom. far dearer to me are yon humble broom bowers where the blue-bell and gowan lurk, lowly, unseen; for there, lightly tripping, among the wild flowers, a-list'ning the li, aft wanders my jean. tho' rich is the breeze in their gay, sunny valleys, and cauld caledonia's blast on the wave; their sweet-sted woodlands that skirt the proud palace, what are they?—the haunt of the tyrant and slave. the slave's spicy forests, and gold-bubbling fountains, the brave caledonian views wi' disdain; he wanders as free as the winds of his mountains, save love's williers—the s of his jean.
