On the wild sea, so vast, so still, so lone!

On my own native Scotland’s hallowed ground,

In a low glen, from worldly din afar,

The stars look down upon the grassy mound

Where she is laid—my young life’s morning star⁠—

And in the trackless deep, the bud she gave

From her fond bosom, fills a briny grave.

And with this one, all that my heart has left,

I raise my altar where your heaven glows;

Here the lone pair, of all they loved bereft,
