It is sad to hear a summer’s last gasp sigh as through balding forests rising winds cry, when sweet and sour notes fill Autumn’s ear a year’s sun filled season’s last tune we hear! Far more sad when on foreign shore we stand listing the tender memories of our own land. Memories of legends from youth and infancy taught in our Scottish schools as a legacy! Chief of historic tales, Wallace of Caledon waking clannish memories in each Scottish son. Whether on a far off scorching coast we toil or north, on the Arctic’s freezing snowy soil hearing music of our land we close sad eyes rousing our patriotism, then illusions arise! Our souls open to where once we would dwell the waving trees in forests and the lochs swell. Each wanderer has visions feeding his brain of reaching his native Scottish shore again! Are such feelings for the homesick confined now just awakening in a Scot’s poetic mind? All patriots know their truth is on this page not least for far off Scottish tears to engage! From Westminster to beyond China’s red fire sons of Scotland are there, always to inspire. The proudest Scottish thinkers to all we give as part of us, our ancestors will always live, more proudly now, for all the world approved of Scotland, from where its sons first moved!
