Sing
of maiden
leal and loved',
And,
while
she
the
heart
can
claim,
Let the
song
by
her
approved
,
Shed
its
halo
o'er
her name
Let
the
notes
to
nature true,
Melting
from
the
trembling
strings
Tell how
foes
can
ne'er
subdue
Hearts
to
whom
the
Minstrel
sings .
War
may boast
its
mad'ning
joy,
But
no
brow
has ever
found
Laurels
time shall
not
destroy,
'Till
the bard has
bound them
round
Waken
then
the
harp\s wild lore
;
Wreath of
fame by
Minstrel won
Shall depart
and
be no
more
When
the
race
of
time
is
run.

shall
repay
;
And soft

The
breath of the
vale
is
faintly
blowing;
;
Each
river and
stream is
mournfully
flowing;
The
birds
on
the
boughs
are
perched
in
sorrow,
Since
thou art
away to return on no
morrow
.
Return
return
return,
Sec.
The
dark
ocean
heaves
with
dismal
wailing
;
The
gaily
unmoor'd
refuses sailing
;
The voice
of
the
wave
is
heard in
sadness,
Singing
this
wail
in
mournful
madness
.
Return
return return,
Sec.
No
more in
the
Dun,
thy
pibroch thrilling,
Is heard
at
eve
loves
fond
heart filling;
Each
maiden
and
swain
is
sad
in
sorrow,
Since
thou
art
away
to
return
on
no
morrow
Return
return
return,
Sec.
The
original
Song
is
printed in MacKayV
Collection
of
Highland
Pibrochs,
-published
at
Edin-
burgh
in
1838. According
to tradition
it
was composed by a
daughter
of MS
Leod
of
MS
Leod
of
Dunvegan. on
hearing of
the
death of
MS
Crummen, (or
MacCrimmon)
the
family
Piper,
who
was
shot
m
a skirmish
between
a party of
General
Louden
1
s men
and
the servants
of
MS
Intosh
of
Moy-
hall,
a
few
nights
before
the
battle
of
Culloden
in
174-6. The
original melody
is Gaelic,
but
in
common
with the
major portion of
Highland
Airs
consists only
of one
strain;
the
Author
of
these
Melodies has
added
the
second
part
in
order
to
adapt
it
to
the
English
translation
.

The
bloom
o
1
youth
beamed on
her cheek,
And
love was
lowirr
in
her e'e
And
Cupids played at
hide
and
seek
Around
us
at
the thorn tree:
Oh
for
the thorn
tree
the fair
the
spreading
thorn
tree
The
flame
o
1
love
o;lows
bonnilie below
the
spreading thorn tree.
The wanton breeze, wi

downy
wing,
Cam
soofin

ower
us
canmlie
;
And
saft and
sweet
the
burn
did
sing
When
trottin
by
the
thorn
tree:
Oh
for
the thorn tree the fresh the
milkwhite
thorn
tree
The
flame
o
1
love
glows
bonnilie
below the
spreading
thorn
tree
I
clasped
my
lassie to
my
heart
,
And
vowed
my
love
should
lasting
be,
And
wished
ilk
ill
might
be
my
part
When I
forgot
the thorn
tree
:
Oh
for
the
thorn
tree
the
bonny bloomin: thorn
tree

OPINIONS
OF
THE
PKESS
UPON
OHXGMAL
XATXOXAL XILOBX]
SCOTLAND,
COMPOSED
BY
PETER
M'LEOD.
Mr
M'Leod has
now
produced a
volume
of Music
which, if
we
are
not
greatly
mistaken,
will
not only confer an
immortality
on himself,
but
will
prove
a boon to
his
country.
Caledonian
Mercury,
28th
June
1838.
We have no doubt that
this
elegant
Work
will
find
its way
into
the
boudoir
of
many a fair lady.
Fife
Herald,
5th
July
1838.
These efforts
are distinguished
by
the
same
plaintive
melody,
the same
impas-
sioned
breathing,
which
have
come
to
us
from the
ancient
lyrics.
Asa Collection of
Original
Melodies,
composed
by one
Individual,
it
is
deservino-
of all
encouragement
;
but
its claims
to
public
attention
rest
upon
higher
Grounds.
It
is
a work of sterling
merit,
and ought to be
found
on
the
table
of
every
admirer
of
Scottish
Song.
Scotsman,
18th
July
1838.
This
is a beautiful
and
truly
National
Collection
of
Songs,
from
the
pens
of
some
of
the
best of
our
living
Poets,
arranged to
Music
of
a
chaste,
graceful,
and
pleasing
character,
by Mr
M'Leod.
United
Service
Gazette,
4th August
1838.

We
hope
Me M'Leod
will
continue
to
write
Melodies,
and
not
allow
that
harp
to
be
unstrung
which
has
sung
so
often
and
so
well,
of
joy
and
sorrow,
of
hope
and
love,
of
the
freedom and worth
of
his native land.
Fifeshire Journal,
9th
August
1838.
He exhibits
great
taste, and
skill,
and
felicity of invention
in
adapting
his
Melodies
to the
spirit
and
character
of
the
Songs.
Glasgow
Constitutional,
25th
August
1838.
The
compositions
are
well
adapted
to
the
subjects;
and
the
sympathy
of
the
Scottish
style
has
been
successfully
imitated.
Dundee
Courier,
20th
November 1838.
We
believe
the
successful Melodist
has
not
only
words
before
him to
which
he
composes,
but
also the rare
gift of
entering into the
feelings
of
the Poet,
causing
that
happy
union
of
Music
to
immortal
Verse. This quality
Mr M'Leod
has
in
a
hio-h
degree,
and
it is this
that
gives
his
Melodies that tone of originality
and
diversity
of
character
which
stamps
them as
decidedly
National.
Edinburgh
Chronicle,
5th
January
1839.
In
the
volume
before
us there are Sixty-One
Songs
by different
Authors,
the
Music
to each
composed
by Mr Peter
M'Leod,
and
many
of them happily
conceived
and
beautifully
expressed.
Woolwich
Advertiser,
9th
February
1839.
We
regret
exceedingly
that we
have
not had
an
earlier
opportunity
of noticing
this
interesting
and truly
beautiful
production.
Its exterior
is got
up
hi
a
style
equal
to that
of
the
best of our Annuals, while the Lyrics which
it
contains,
and the
appropriate Original
Melodies
to
which
they
are
married, make
it
a
highly
valuable
accession
to the stock Music
of
the
'
Land
of
the
mountain
and
the
flood.'
It
is
a
work
eminently
worthy
of
the
Northern
Athens,
and
ought
to have
a
place
in
all
our
musical
libraries.
So
natural
and
sympathetic
is
the
connection
(between
the
Poetry
and
Music),
that
after hearing a few notes
of the
symphony,
we
can
at
once
predicate
the
character of
the
words.
The
Sheffield
Iris,
24th
December
1839.
