Love
Farewell to the Land Where the Clouds Love to Rest
From Songs from the Waverley Novels (Poetical Works, Oxford 1904)
Love
FAREWELL to the land where the clouds love to rest,
Like the shroud of the dead on the mountain's cold breast;
To the cataract's roar where the eagles reply,
And the lake her lone bosom expands to the sky.
