Afar from the land of the mountain and heather,
   An old Highland piper look’d sad o’er the sea,
And sigh’d o’er the time when the sound of his
          chanter
   Was known from the Isles to the bank of the Dee.

And oft, as the shades of the night would foregather,
   And day was forsaking the weary pine plains,
He sang of the hills of the dark purple heather,
   The hills that so often re-echoed his strains.

         How little they know of the weight of affection
            The scattered descendants of mighty Lochiel
         Still bear in their bosom to aught that reminds them
            Of the dark purple heather and land of the Gael.
VII, 210-11

Between these two lines the following stanza has been inserted in PW:

         And little they know of the tie that still binds us—
            A tie which the stranger, no, never can feel—
         The love which we bear to the land left behind us,
            The wounds of our parting which never can heal.
