FAR FRAE HAME.
(Pall Mall Gazette.) Yo’ro a lang way frao your ha me, laddie, Gin you could turn and see Wi’ your dreams o’ fame an’ siller An’ the brightness in your e’e; And it seems a pleasant roamin’ Frao the morn until tho gloamin’, Far frao me. Tho sun lias droopit low, laddie, An’ you’ro gangin’ further yet, Sin’ ye think ye see the lanterns On the city’s parapet; I ken, I ken ye’re dreamin’, An’ my puir auld e’es aro streamin’ Wi’ the wet. Ye’re a lang way frao your goal, lad die, But ye’ll never, never ken, An’ ye’ll soon sink down in slumber In tho lone and wintry glen; An’ maybe ye’ll no be wakin’ (It’s a lang,’ lang road ye’re takin’), An’ puir mither’s heart is brakin’ — That is a’!
