Ye mountains and glens of fair Scotland I'm with ye once again, <br />During my absence from ye my heart was like to break in twain; <br />Oh! How I longed to see you and the old folks at home, <br />And with my lovely Jeannie once more in the green woods to roam. <br /> <br />Now since I've returned safe home again <br />I will try and be content <br />With my lovely Jeannie at home, <br />And forget my banishment. <br /> <br />My Jeannie and me will get married, <br />And I will be to her a good man, <br />And we'll live happy together, <br />And do the best we can. <br /> <br />I hope my Jeannie and me <br />Will always happy be, <br />And never feel discontent; <br />And at night at the fireside <br />I'll relate to her the trials of my banishment. <br /> <br />But now I will never leave my Jeannie again <br />Until the day I die; <br />And before the vital spark has fled <br />I will bid ye all good-bye.<br /><br />William Topaz McGonagall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-convict-s-return/
