FAREWELL TO ABERFOYLE.

My tortured bosom lang shall feel The pangs of this last sad farewell; Far, far to foreign lands I stray, To spend the hours in deepest wae. Farewell my dear and native soil, Farewell, the braes o' Aberfoyle.

And fare ye well my vinsome love, Into whatever lands I rove, Thou'lt claim the deepest, dearest sigh, The warrgest tear e'er wet my eye; And when I'm wand ring many a mile, I'll think on Kate o' Aberfoyle.

When far upon the raging sea, While thunders roll and lightnings flee, When sweeping storms the ship assail, I'll bless the music of the gale ! And when I'm listning a' the while, I'll think on Kate o' Aberfoyle.

Katy, my only love, farewell ; What pangs my faithful heart shall feel, While straying throngh tle Indian groves, Weeping our wnes; our early loves : I'll ne'er mair see my native soil, Farewell, farewell, sweet Aberfoyle.
