• My heart ’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
    My heart ’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
    Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe.
    My heart ’s in the Highlands, wherever I go.
    Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
    The birthplace of valor, the country of worth;
    Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
    The hills of...

  • My heart leaps up when I behold
        A rainbow in the sky;
    So was it when my life began,
    So is it now I am a man,
    So be it when I shall grow old,
        Or let me die!
    The Child is father of the Man;
    And I could wish my days to be
    Bound each to each by natural piety.
