He came from Scotland and settled here.[1211]
A splendid young fellow he was just then,
And one of the bravest and truest of men.
In a year his wife came, and he showed her round
His sandal-wood and his crops in the ground,
And spoke of the future; they cried for joy,
The husband’s arm clasping his wife and boy.
Well, friend, if a little of heaven’s best bliss
Ever comes from the upper world[1212] to this,
It came into that manly bushman’s life,
