Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North, <br />The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth; <br />Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, <br />The hills of the Highlands for ever I love. <br /> <br />My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; <br />My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer; <br />A-chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, <br />My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go. <br /> <br />Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow; <br />Farewell to the straths and green valleys below; <br />Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods; <br />Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods. <br /> <br />My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; <br />My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer; <br />A-chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, <br />My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go.<br /><br />Robert Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-heart-s-in-the-highlands/
