Sweeps along the silver beeches.

I am come to sea-girt Raasay,

To the wave-washed island Raasay,

To the storm-swept, rugged Raasay,

I have braved Kintyre's wild headlands—

Braved its mountain-rising billows,

Braved dark Cory-Vreckan's whirlpool,

Braved the fortress of Artornish,

Braved the fabled Ardnamurchan,

Ship-engulfing Ardnamurchan,
