The Humorous Chap-Books, Vol. 1 Scotland (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Humorous Chap-Books, Vol. 1: Scotland Go, little book, across the throbbing seas, To bear from me and mine, Some humble tribute of the love we owe A friend of "auld lang syne." II. No more this hand may "tak' a haud o' his," No more these eyes may trace The kindly smile, the unaffected look, Of that familiar face. III. Ah! nevermore those hours so full of light. Of well-remembered talks, By lovely Barrochan's romantic braes And ivy-shaded walks! IV. But hearts may touch where hands can never meet, And mine goes out to home; To dear old Scotland yearning hands I stretch Across the salt sea-foam.
