And lost in love's and friendship's smile,
Be memory of the lonely isle.

III.
Song continued.
"But if beneath yon southern sky
 A plaided stranger roam,
Whose drooping crest and stifled sigh,
And sunken cheek and heavy eye,
 Pine for his highland home;
Then, warrior, then be thine to show
The care that soothes a wanderer's woe;
Remember then thy hap ere while
A stranger in the lonely isle.

"Or if on life's uncertain main
 Mishap shall mar thy sail;
If faithful, wise, and brave in vain,
Woe, want, and exile thou sustain
 Beneath the fickle gale;
