From the lone shieling of the misty island
Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas—
Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland,
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides!


'Canadian Boat Song' translated from the Gaelic in Blackwoods Edinburgh Magazine September 1829 'Noctes Ambrosianae' no. 46, and later attributed to Galt
