For body and mind are hale and healthy.
Her eyes they thrill with right goodwill
Her heart X light "A floating feather
As pure and bright the mountain rhl
That leaps and laughs In the Highland heather'

Then come you home and sing with me
There's no such gold and no such pearl
As a bright and beautiful English girl.
There is twice as much more in the same STRAIN
