Pub. London and Edinburgh, c.1786.

Campbell settled in Edinburgh from Stirling, and was an organist there. By repute he was friends with Burns and gave singing lessons (albeit unsuccessfully) to the young Walter Scott.
Lyrics: Dr Thomas Blacklock

Since robb'd of all that charm'd my view,
Of all my soul e'er fancied fair,
Ye smiling native scenes adieu,
With each delightful object there.

Ye dear associates of my breast,
Whose hearts with speechless sorrow swell,
And thou with hoary age oppress'd,
Dear author of my life, farewell.

For me. alas, thy fruitless tears,
Far, far remote from friends and home,
Shall blast thy venerable years,
And bend thee pining to the tomb.
