My Native Land Sae Far Awa
my native land sae far awa o sad and heavy, should i part, but for her sake, sae far awa; unknowing what my way may thwart, my native land sae far awa. thou that of a' things maker art, that formed this fair sae far awa, gie body strength, then i'll art at this my way sae far awa. how true is love to pure desert! like mine for her sae far awa; and nocht heal my bosom's smart, while, oh, she is sae far awa! her love, her dart, i feel but her's sae far awa; but fairer ouch'd a heart than her's, the fair, sae far awa.
