Adieu! ye cheerful native plains, <br />Dungeon glooms receive me, <br />Nought, alas for me remains, <br />Of all the joys ye gave me- <br />All are flown! <br />Banish'd from thy shores, sweet Erin, <br />I, through life, must toil, despairing. <br />Lost and unknown. <br /> <br />Howl, ye winds, around my cell, <br />Nothing now can wound me, <br />Mingling with your dreary swell, <br />Prison groans surround me,- <br />Bodings wild- <br />Treachery, thy ruthless doing <br />Long I'll mourn in hopeless ruin, <br />Lost and exil'd.<br /><br />Robert Tannahill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/adieu-ye-cheerful-native-plains/
