OUT over the Forth, I look to the north—
But I look to the west, when I gae to rest,
20.
Out over the Forth.
I.
But what is the north, and its Highlands to me ?
The south nor the east gie ease to my breast,
The far foreign land or the wide rolling sea!
II.
That happy my dreams and my slumbers may be;
For far in the west lives he I loe best,
The man that is dear to my babie and me.
Henderson and Henley's Text.
