LOCHABER.
Farewell to Lochaber, farewell to the glens, To the streams and the corries, the straths and the bens ; Farewell, oh farewell to thy beautiful shore, We'll maybe return to Lochaber no more. No longer mounts upward the smoke of our fires; No longer for us are the homes of our sires ; No bread for the winning comes in at the door — Lochaber, Lochaber, farewell evermore !
In the days that are gone, ir. the old happy time, Brave men were the gloryand wealth of theclime; Bat the grouse and the deer need the kailyards
of yore ; And we'll may be return to Lochaber no more. Bight gladly we'd cling to the land of our birth, And fight for thee, die for thee, pride of the earth: But men without hope are as drift on the shore. Lochaber, Lochaber, farewell evermore !
Farewell to Lochaber, its cloud-covered bens, Its clear wimplin' burnies, its bonnie green glens, The holy, the desolate, beautiful shore— "We return, we return to Lochaber no more. Farewell, oh farewell ! and wherever we roam Thy name shall be symbol and watchwoid of
home; The echoes of joys that no time shall restore. Lost, lost with Lochaber, lost, lost evermore!.
