104 ROAMIN' IN THE GLOAMIN' from him. Sandy Melville was the author of a song which achieved widespread popularity in Scotland and all over the world twenty years ago. At the moment I forget the title of the song but it was an emigrant song and the first verse was: They're far, far awa' But their hearts are ever true. The auld hoose at hame is constant in their view. The bonnie bloomin' heather and the hill-taps clad wi' snaw — Their hearts are aye in Scotland tho' they're far, far awa'. Every great contralto vocalist in the land had the song on her list and I myself have heard men and women sing it in all parts of the globe. Poor Sandy Melville !
