Poems (Davidson)/Rob Rov's Reply to Francis Osbaldistone

by Lucretia Maria Davidson

ROB-ROY'S REPLY TO FRANCIS OSBALDISTONE.

The heather I trod while breathing on earth,
Must bloom o'er my grave in the land of my birth;
My warm heart would shrink like the fern in the frost,
If the tops of my hills to my dim eyes were lost.
