* From the Celtic Lyre, by permission of the Editor. Mr. Henry Whyte. who has kindly sent us the following note : " These verses, in
praise of the Island of Mull, Arg^yllshire, were written by the late Daniel MacFhail. a native of that island, who died in 1887. He wrote
several other Gaelic songs, which are popular in the Highlands. The melody belongs to much older, but inferior verses. Mr. MacPhail was
resident in Newcastle when he wrote this poem.
