While here and there some low-browed, turf-built shieling Peeps out through friths of fir or birk, Where frowns, austere, elect, the shingled steeple That tops some sombre granite kirk.
But leagues between, a vagrant sunbeam flashes On palace wall or castled pride.
Thronged with gay-kilted crowds whose lairdly pleasures Spread Libyan desert far and wide.
Who thrust across wild waves of western ocean Disacred remnants of great clans ; Who gave to fir and whins and forest roamers The generous hau...ghs that once were man's.
As dazed I scan this weary waste of heather, And desolate haunts of bird or deer.
And lonely homes of selfish Saxon splendour, A southern cry rings in my ear.
SUNDAY AT BRAEMAR I7 A cry that, bursting from ten thousand bosoms, Awoke from midnight into noon Marseille, Bordeaux, Saint Etienne, Lyon, Paris, With lips that shrieked ' Vive la Commune ! * My thirsty vision pants for sunlit w^aters, And luscious glebe of vine-clad lands.
And chanted psalms of universal freedom, And sacred grasp of brotherly hands : Pants to behold the ruddy Highland ranger, With fair-cheeked sons of English soil, Linked to the sunburnt throng of southern cities In one vast commonwealth of toil : Banded to break the pride of hoarded treasure, Or insolent boast of lordly birth : To fling the equal boon of freeborn manhood Through all the spreading skirts of earth : No longer with the red right hand of slaughter.
