AFTER CULLODEN.
Bt "Tnn Last of thk Jacobites." Swml maiden, young and lovely. What makes thee Jook to and ? Sweet maiden, tad and pensive, SVbere is thy Highland lad ? He'a gone to fight for Scotland's right. Where Saxon thunders roar, And my poor heart will break If I aeo him never more. A mitt ia on the mountain's brow, A atorm ia on the lake, The biting breath of winter Ia howling in the brake ; The nobleat youth in all the glen Uaa left bia father a door, And my poor heart will break If I ace him never more. There'a sobbing in the caitlo, There's sighing in the shlel ; There's a mighty wail of sorro w In the dwellings of Lochiel— The gallant chief has led th« clan To bleak Culloden Mulr, And my poor heart will break If I see him nover more. 1 here's mourning at Culloden— The drooping heather bell, The mountain daisy bloometh Where Scotland's children fel>. And now the maiden sleeps in peace, tier day of trouble o'er — Her faithful heart ia broken, For ahe aaw him never more.
