W:2.Tho' rich is the breeze, in their gay sunny valleys,
W:    And cauld Caledonia's blast on the wave;
W:  Their sweet-scented woodlands that skirt the proud palace,
W:    What are they?—-the haunt of the tyrant and slave!
W:  The slave's spicy forests, and gold-bubbling fountains,
W:    The brave Caledonian views wi' disdain:
W:  He wanders as free as the wind on his mountains,
W:    Save love's willing fetters--the chains of his Jean.
