Classic Poem

Hie upon Hielands and laigh upon Tay

Bonnie George Campbell rode out on a day.
He saddled, he bridled, and gallant rode he,
And hame cam his guid horse, but never cam he.

Out cam his mother dear greeting fu' sair,
And out cam his bonnie bryde riving her hair.
My meadow lies green and my corn is unshorn,
My barn is to build and my baby's unborn.

Saddled and bridled and booted rode he,
A plume in his helmet, a sword at his knee.
But toom cam his saddle all bloody to see;
Oh hame cam his guid horse, but never cam he.
