    Sweet stream! Could we be found like thee
    While travelling life's rough way
    A humble friend to all around
    Where e'en our footsteps stray
    Soon every corner of the earth
    In my mind's contemplation
    Would swell with noble words
    And deeds and shine with consecration.

    And now fair Fane! I leave thy plain
    Excuse me looking sad
    For more hospitable kindness
    No man has ever had
    One lingering look! a fond adieu
    I'll come again the while
    And sing the same and hidden fame,
    'Mong fairest in the Isle.
