O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood; Land of the mountain and the flood!
Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
The will to do, the soul to dare..
Woman's faith and woman's trust, Write the characters in dust.
Hurry no man's cattle; you may come to own a donkey yourself
He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit, He that leaps the wide gulf should prevail in his suit.
