Excerpt from The Emigrant's Family: Or Scotland and Australia, a Tale Founded on Real Life, and Other Poems Miss Gibbon, of Johnston, This little volume, the fruits of the author's musings, is most respectfully and humbly dedicated, By William Jamie. Fair lady, like a tender flower That sweetly blooms in its young day, An offering from the muse's bower Before ye now I humbly lay. Oh! had the power and boon been mine, In sweetest strains to soar and sing, A richer garland would been thine, Wi' fairest gems of gentle spring. These simple lays and lowly strains, Lady, I fondly bring to you, I've glean'd them from the rural glens, Where first the muse I tried to woo. The forest flowers which scent the gale, And crystal streams that wind along The margin of the sunny vale, Are themes I've woven in my song.
