With sons of pride to roam?

Why did I quit my Highland cave,

Marr's dusky heath, and Dee's clear wave,

To seek a Sotheron home?

Hall of my sires! a long farewell;

Yet why to thee adieu?

Thy vaults will echo back my knell,

Thy towers my tomb will view;

The faltering tongue which sung thy fall,

And former glories of thy hall
