Tribute to the highlands | ’My heart is in the highlands’ poem

Poem written, by the Scottish bard Robert Burns: 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 birthpace of valour, the country of worth Wherever I wander, wherever I rove The hills of the Highlands forever I love Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow Farewell to the straths and green valleys below Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods Farewell 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 Wherever I go (Read by his royal highness the Prince of Wales)
