Literature
This page is devoted to my favorite poems of English speaking poets. From my point of view they are nice. We are beginning with wonderful poem by Robert Burns – scottish writter of the 18-th century. The poem I like most of all is
"My Heart in the Highlands …"
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer -
A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North
The birth place of Valour, the country of Worth;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with snow;
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forrests and wild-hanging woods;
Farwell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart's in the Highlands, whereever I go.
This wonderful poem was taken from the
site devoted to the Robert Burns poetry. I would like to say “Thanx” to webmasters of this page for their helpful site!
