 The chaise came to the door in a strong drenching1 mist. We took our leave in silence: the house of Durrisdeer standing2 with dropping gutters3 and windows closed, like a place dedicate to melancholy5. I observed the Master kept his head out, looking back on these splashed walls and glimmering7 roofs, till they were suddenly swallowed in the mist; and I must suppose some natural sadness fell upon the man at this departure; or was it some provision of the end? At least, upon our mounting the long brae from Durrisdeer, as we walked side by side in the wet, he began first to whistle and then to sing the saddest of our country tunes8, which sets folk weeping in a tavern9, Wandering Willie. The set of words he used with it I have not heard elsewhere, and could never come by any copy; but some of them which were the most appropriate to our departure linger in my memory. One verse began—
 
Home was home then, my dear, full of kindly10 faces,
Home was home then, my dear, happy for the child.
 
And ended somewhat thus—
 
Now, when day dawns on the brow of the moorland,
    Lone12 stands the house, and the chimney-stone is cold.
Lone let it stand, now the folks are all departed,
    The kind hearts, the true hearts, that loved the place of old.
 
I could never be a judge of the merit of these verses; they were so hallowed by the melancholy of the air, and were sung (or rather “soothed”) to me by a master-singer at a time so fitting. He looked in my face when he had done, and saw that my eyes watered.
