To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each jagged cliff, each towering peak, Still tells of pain and strife, When thou, from out earth's burning womb, Wast lifted into life.
66 SCOTLAND MINE.
My mother-land ! how bare thy form, How wild thy heart of flame, Till kindly snows and mists and dews With gentlest soothing came ! And now, in Nature's greenest robe, A queen I see thee stand The fairest, grandest child of earth, My own, my mother-land !
Thy children, too, my mother-land, Came to their birth through strife In storm and war an...d martyr-fires They bravely won their life Rock-framed and rude, how stern they stood For truth and conscience free ! Fire-souled, how flamed their being forth For liberty and thee!
Come now soft dews of sympathy !
Come mists of human tears, And snows that nurse the buried seed Shall bloom in brighter years !
SCOTLAND MINE. 67 For greenest sward of love shall fold Eternal rocks of truth And kingly men thy sons shall stand In royal robes of ruth !
A TREE IN THE CITY.
IN a narrow, stifling street, In the heart of the busy town, Where trade, with feverish feet, Goes hurrying up and down ; Where souls to Mammon bound, Look out through haggard eyes, That see the stony ground, But never the blessed skies, A giant poplar stands, Amid the turmoil calm And lifts to Heaven its hands, Rustling a thankful psalm.
