Ye mountains and glens of fair Scotland I'm with ye once again, During my absence from ye my heart was like to break in twain; Oh! how I longed to see you and the old folks at home, And with my lovely Jeannie once more in the green woods to roam. Now since I've returned safe home again I will try and be content With my lovely Jeannie at home, And forget my banishment. My Jeannie and me will get married, And I will be to her a good man, And we'll live happy together, And do the best we can. I hope my Jeannie and me Will always happy be, And never feel discontent; And at night at the fireside I'll relate to her the trials of my banishment. But now I will never leave my Jeannie again Until the day I die; And before the vital spark has fled I will bid ye all good-bye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAKING OF MAN by JOHN WHITE CHADWICK NATURA NATURANS by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH THE BOROUGH: LETTER 22.
