Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Misty Isle of Skye, Its Scenery, Its People, Its Story Exiled From Skye. The sun shines on the ocean, And the heavens are blue and high, But the clouds hang grey and lowering O'er the misty Isle of Skye. I hear the blue-bird singing, And the starling's mellow cry, But I love the peewit's screaming In the distant Isle of Skye. The trees are grand and lofty, And the grass grows sweet and high, But I long to see the heather In the purple Isle of Skye. The streams are broad and stately, And the meadows fertile lie, But I hear the streamlets leaping Down the rocky glens of Skye. There's a singing in the cornfields As the breeze goes whispering by, But I love the bracken's rustle On the lonely hills of Skye. And I'd rather hear the music, When my time may come to die, Of the wind among the corries In the far-off Isle of Skye. M. J.
