Before the time of the singing of birds shall ever dawn upon
Scotland, the Scotch must not only return to their native tongue
but to their native melodies also. Is it not a fact that there are no
songs listened to in the city of London with so much pleasure as
the Scotch. I would not be surprised although the native language
and the native melodies of Scotland are destined to give songs of
praise to every part of the world where the English language is
spoken.
