He has drawn his inspiration mainly from Gaelic folk-life and literature. The impressionable years of his youth were spent in Argyllshire. He is the author of two books of verse, The Riddle of Life and Elves and Heroes, and a number of volumes in prose, dealing with the archaeo- logy and religious beliefs of ancient civilisations, including Wonder Tales from Scottish Myth and Legend, Myths of Crete and Pre- Hellenic Europe, Myths of Babylonia and Assyria, Egyptian Myth and Legend, Indian Myth a...nd Legend, etc. He has done a great deal of folk-lore collecting in the Lowlands and Highlands. Ill ISLE OF MY HEART I'M sighing here my lone-self In a foreign land and fair, Where the sun is ever gleaming And I can live at ease; For it's me that will be dreaming Of the dear days that were, On that jewel of an island In the sweet Hebrides. The little island of my heart, Ah! cold it is and bare, It's bleak wi' rain and black wi' peat And hungry in the foam; But oh! it's heartsome and it's sweet, It's me that would be there, For they're good folk, they're warm folk, They're fine folk at home.
