English text
The Isle of Mull is of isles the fairest,
Of ocean gems 'tis the first and rarest;
Green grassy island of spark-ling fountains,
Of waving woods and high tow'ring mountains.
How pleasant 'twas in the May morning,
The rising sun thy gay fields adorning;
The feathered songsters their lays were singing,
While rocks and wood were with echoes ringing.
But gone are now all those joys for ever,
Like bubbles bursting on yonder river:
Farewell, farewell, to thy sparkling fountains,
Thy waving woods and high tow'ring mountains.
