Come

Home.

George MacDonald, 'The Shortest and Sweetest of Songs'

This is my country,

The land that begat me,

These windy spaces

Are surely my own.

Alexander Gray, from 'Scotland'

O Brignall banks are wild and fair,

And Greta woods are green,

And you may gather garlands there,

Would grace a summer queen.

Walter Scott, from 'Brignall Banks'

I 'scotched, not killed' the Scotchman in my blood,

And love the land of mountain and of flood.

Lord Byron, from Don Juan

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,

Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;

My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,

Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
