(Sir Walter Scott.

Breathes there the man with soul SC
dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land
Whose heart hath ne'er within him

AS home his footsteps he hath turn'd
From wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go mark him

For him no minstrel raptures swell.
High though his titles, proud his name.
Boundless his wealth as wish can

Despite those titles, power and pef,
The wretch, concentrated all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung
Unwept, unhOnored and unsung

The memory of a clasping hand,
The presence of a kiss,
And all the trifies, sweet and fTaiI
That make up human bliss.
If with a firm unchanging faith
And holy trust and high
Those hands have clasped, those lips

These things shall nver die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as it fell;
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel but never tell.
The hard repulse that chills the heart
When hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept.
