Free-man stand, or free-man fa', Caledonian ! on wi' me ! By oppression's woes and pains! By your sons in servile chains ; We will dralu our dearest veins, But they shall be— shall be free ! Lay the proud usurpers low ! Tyrants tall in every foe; Liberty's in every blow! Forward ! let us do, or die ! 166 RAVING WINDS AROUND HER BLOWING. / COMPOSED these verses on Miss Isabella M'JLeod of Raza, alluding to her feelings on the death of her sister, and the still more melancholy death of her sister...'s husband, the late Earl of Loudon. Tone — M'Grigor of Roro's Lament. Raving winds around her blowing, Yellow leaves the woodlands strowing, By a river hoarsely roaring, Isabella stray 'd deploring. Farewel hours, that late did measure Sunshine days of joy and pleasure; Hail ! thou gloomy night of sorrow, Cheerless night that knows no morrow ! O'er the Past too fondly wandering, On the hopeless Future wandering ; Chilly grief my life-blood freezes, Fell despair my fancy seizes. Life, thou soul of every blessing, Load to misery most distressing ; Gladly how would 1 resign thee.
