Ballade of His Own Country

I scribbled on a fly-book's leaves

Among the shining salmon-flies;

A song for summer-time that grieves

I scribbled on a fly-book's leaves.

Between grey sea and golden sheaves,

Beneath the soft wet Morvern skies,

I scribbled on a fly-book's leaves

Among the shining salmon-flies.
