Then tell me of bards, and of warriors bold,
Who wielded their brands in the battles of old :
"Who conquer' d and died for their lov'd native lan3,
With its maidens so fair, and its mountains so grand.
For old Scotland, I love thee! thou'rt dearer to me
Than all lands that are girt by the wide-rolling sea ;
Tho' asleep not in sunshine, like islands afar,
Yet thou'rt gallant in love, and triumphant in war I
SLEEP ON, MY BELOTED ONE.
Words and Music "ny Herbert Smythe
Sleep on my be^lov'd one, My Kathle en sleep
Once breath'd in thine ear. Fcirewell.fa.reweH.my
Kathleen dear> Farewell . Farewell . my Kathleen dear.
May that dream of enchantment
Be oft in my sleep,
When high lash the billows,
When loud roars the deep ;
When my bark bears me swiftly
Far, far from my home,
May the bliss of that moment
To soothe thee oft come !
Farewell ! farewell ! my Kathleen dear.
Farewell! farewell! my Kathleen dear.
