Ode to Scotland

You touch me with your purple hills,
Your lovely braes, lochs, an mills,
You bring to me a happiness filled,
with music and mirth that will not part;
that lives on, and on, in me still
And will not cease in my heart!

Your a bright land o burns an glens
A wonderous place that never ends,
You bless the earth with your mighty bens,
That touch the sky and it's highest cloud;
This blessed joy, to me, you send,
O Scotland, of you, I'm truly proud!

Douglas Lee Swicegood--September 27, 1999
