Betsey Baker (1829)
“ The martyr’s grave, and lover’s bower We bid a sad farewell! Home of our love! our fathers’ home! Land of the brave and free! The sail is flapping on the foam That bears us far from thee! We seek a wild and distant shore, Beyond the western main——— We leave thee to return no more, Nor view thy cliffs again! Our native land———our native vale——— A long and last adieu! Farewell to bonny Tivotdale, And Scotland’s mountains blue! This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
