Now rosy May comes inwi'flowers,

And now comes in my happy hours,
To wander wi' my Davie.
Meet me on the warlock kNowe,
Dainty Davie, dainty Davie;
There i'll spend the day wi' you,

The spot they ca'd it Linkumdoddie,
Willie was a wabster guid,
Could stown a clue wi' ony bodie;
He had a wife was dour and din,
Tinkler Maggie was her mither;
Sic a wife as Willie had,
I wadna gie a button for her.
She has an e'e, she has but ane,
The cat has twa the very colour;
Five rusty teeth, forbye a stump,
A clapper tongue wad deave a miller;
A whiskin beard about her mou,
Her nose and chin they threaten ither;
Sic a wife, &c.
She's bow-hough'd, she's hein-shinn'd,
Ae limpin leg a hand-breed shorter;
She's twisted right, she's twisted left.
To balance fair in ilka quarter:

She has hump upon her breast;
The twin o' that upon her shouther;
Sic a wife, &c.
Auld baudrous by the ingle sits,
And wi' her loof her face a-washin;

NOTHING
LIKE GROG/
A plague on those musty old lubbers
Who tell us to fast and to think,
And patiently bear with life's rubbers,
With nothing but water to drink;
A can of good stuff Had they swigg'd it,
Would soon ay have set them agog;
In spite of the rules
Of the schools,
The old fools
Would have constantly swigg'd it,
And sworn there was nothing like grog
My Father, when last I from Guinea
Return'd with abundance of wealth,
Cry'd, Jack, never be such a ninny
Astfbdrink; says I, Father your health;
So I tipp'd him the stuff and he twigg'd
it,
And it soon set th' old codger agog;
So he swigg'd, and mother,
And sister and brother,
And all of us swigg'd it,
And we swore there was nothing like
grog.
�7
T'other day when the chaplain was
preaching,
Behind him I curiously slunk,
And while he us our duty was teaching
As how we should never get drunk,
I tipp'd him a can and he twigg'd it,
And it soon set his rev'rence agog;
So he swigg'd and Dick swigg'd,
And Ben swigg'd and I swigg'd,
And all of us swigg'd it,
And we swore there was nothing like
grog.
Then trust me there's nothing like
drinking,
So pleasant on this side the grave,
I t keeps the unhappy from thinking,
And makes e'en more valiant the brave
As for me, since the moment I swigg'd
it,
The good stuff has so set me agog,
That sick or well, late or early,
Wind foully or fairly,
I've constantly swigg'd it,
And dem'me there's nothing like grog.

DIALOGUE
BETWEEN
JOHN AND
THOMAS,
ON
The Corn laws, The Charter,
TEETOTALISM,
AND
The Probable Remedy for the Present Disstresses.
1 842.
PAISLEY:
p r i n t e d f o r t h e a u t h o r , b y g. c a l d w e l l ,
�T . W e e l John what do you think is to come: out o'
thae terrible times ? I believe our kintra neer saw a time
like this.
J. Really they are fearfu' looking times, and I am
really at a loss what to think about' them, or how to
T . Deed John I'm truly at a loss mysel' to ken what
would be the best remedy, but it is plain we would need
some remedy soon, for our miseries are every day;
is alarming. Hae ye nae idea ava' what can be the
cause o' a' this bankruptcy and beggary that is come
amang us ?
J* It is often my first thochts in the morning, and the
last at night, t o fin' out the origin o* a' this distress;
whiles I think the Corn Bill has a great effect to hurt our
trade, and I hae nae doubt but it has had a bad effect,
but how far it would remedy the evil now I'm no very sure,
for wi' us no takin' their Corn, they wouldna tak' our
Goods, and noo baith Russia, and Prussia, and Holland,
a n d Belgium, and France, and America, an' a', has
goods. I think our landholders, if they had half an
in their head, micht see that.

T . I dinna think f e r e far wrang John, altho' I have
heard some argue strictly in behalf o' the Corn Bill, and
tell us if it wasna the Corn Bill our grun* wadna be sae
weel cultivated, and its value wad sink in estimation, but
I rather think the lads up by are feart the rents wad sink
in their estimation; and is this a' the relief J o h n — t h e
takin' aff o* the Corn Laws—that we hae to look for, for
the bettering o* our condition? if this is a it is a very
forlorn hope.
J. I hae nae doubt Thomas but there is ither causes
that produce these great grievances amang us.
Anither
great cause, I believe, is our great National D e b t , which
hangs about our neck like a millstane, and I'm afraid
will sink us to the bottom if the string is not cut, and
what surprises me maist is to see sae little attention paid
to economy, to help to pay off this debt. It is grievin'
to read o' the thousands, and thousands, and hunders o '
thousands, that is payt awa' every year to placemen and
pensioners, for no purpose under the sun, but rank
wastery: ane wad think, when they see our kintra sinkin'
and sae muckle need for care, that they would be glad to
adopt any plan to save u s ; and they ha'e a capital pattern
o cheap government laid down to them in America, whar
the head o ' the house costs them only £ 6 0 0 0 instead o '
£400,000, which some folk has to pay.
T I must confess John you talk very reasonably on
the subject, and if your plans could be brought to work,
they micht hae a gude effect; but there is a heap o ' folk
thinks that if we had the Charter it would work a
e v i l s set to right in a short time, but I ' m afraid it will
n ° t be easy gotten to mak' a trial o.\
J* I daresay there would be a change, if that could be
gotten, but, as ye say, I doubt it will not be gotten in a
but I should like to see*t try't, and see what effect
u wad hae to Reform matters; but there is ae Reform
wonderful'
Reform amang us,
�4
that we a* hae in our power, and I think every living man
and woman should mak* a trial o't to see what effect it
wad hae, there's naebody 1 speak to but confesses that
there is a world of evils in connection with it, and for
that reason I think it is our duty to try it, and that is to
abstain from all intoxicating drinks, and I cannot think
that any man can be a sincere Chartist or Reformer, unless he be a Teetotaler, for the drinking o' thae drinks
completely counteracts his own schemes.
1 . A h , noo John, are ye really gaun to tak a1 the
hair o* comfort us puir bodies hae left ? if it wasna for the
dribble o* dram I get noo and than, I wad sink un'er my
affliction athegither; ye canna deny I'm sure but it raises
the spirits and mak's us cheery mony a time, when nae
ither thing will do't.
J . O yes, Thomas, I must confess it raises the s p i r i t s ,
and that to an awfu' degree, sometimes to 80, but next
morning you will find them sink to 40, being 20 below
par, and then what state do ye fin* yoursel* in ? do ye
fin' your purse ony benter? do ye fin your head ony
sounder, after wallowing in that sinfu drink ? I trow no,
Thomas.

T . Tuts man ye're takin* the very warst look o* the
thing ye can tak'; its weel enough kent there's mony a
ane tak's a bit suck that disna drive themsel's to thae

Magistrates, and Councillors too; indeed, the maist o
folk that reckon themsel's upish can a' tak' their
moderate
J. Their moderate dram ! dinna tell me about
moderate
but independent o' a' that, is't no a shamfu' bad e x a m p l e
they set before workin' folk, (for poor folk maun aye be
imitating the rich if they can ava) to drink thae 'drink

that destroy sae muckle o' our grain in times like this,
when poor folk's starvin'; every half mutchin ye drink,
Thomas, believe me or no as ye like, destroys as muckle
gude good as wad mak' a comfortable meal to a gude big
family, and I'm creditably informed that there is as much
destroyed in one dist'llery every morning as wad
T . Hoot, nonsence, John ye're surely gaun out o't noo
athegither, I never dream't o ' ony thing like that, ye wad
maist fricht a body frae ever tasting a drap again ; if that
was the case ye wad think the hale kintra wad rise up in
a mass against it, our legislators wad stop distillation, and
our magistrates wad grant nae inae licenses. Hoot toot
John, ye're surly far wrang
J. No, tweel awat Thomas, I'm nane wrang, for if
there was nane o* the drunkard's drink drucken, every
inhabitant in Scotland micht hae sax pound o' bread every
week they hinna, and that's but ae portion o' the evil that
springs frae that curse ; look to the misery and madness,
the woes and wretchedness, that it produces; we're tax'd
to a pretty degree even noo to support prisons like bastiles,
whereas if we wad a drap drinking, a three-storey house
wad ha'd a' the criminals in a kintra side.
T. Altho* there a wheen fools that mak' themsel's idiots
wi' drinkin', we're no a' to be blamed wi't; there's mony
a decent respectable minister and magistrate baith that tak'
their dram, and disna fill themsel's fou, and if folk wad
°only imitate their example there wad be nae great fear o '
gaun wrang.
J. Ah, Thomas, Thomas, but it is a bad example
Scripture aye approves o' them that tak' nae drink, and
A could gie ye plenty o' instances o't if you and I had
; and to finish the whole story, it declares to you, in
Habakuk, in plain terms no to be misunderstood, " Woe
l o him that giveth his neighbour drink.''

to drink is something like beginning to s m o k e or snuff* it
is fun at first, but truly it often g r o w s earnest, as w e m o n y
a time s e e ; and I think, for m y part, its far better to let
it alane a' thegither; and I think it is the duty of every
patriot and every Christian to give no countenance to these
vile things ; and every man that drinks intoxicating liquor
is only assisting to support 4 0 , 0 0 0 men w h o break every
L o r d ' s day, b y destroying the bounties of Providence, by
converting them into a most destructive and pernicious
drink.
A n d I think that a man that w o u l d not gie up
the use o ' a thing that is baith useless and unnecessary,
for the sake o* his suffering fellow creatuies, is nae man
ava.
T . Y e really gang a great length wi* y o u r teetotalism,
y e seem to think it will be a general salve for a' the
d o u b t , J o h n , t h o ' we were a' teetotlars the nicht, it wadna
better our condition a bawbee, in the present a w f u ' state
o ' t h i n g s ; we're gae an' weel teetotal'd the noo, and that
sair against our wills,
J . Nae thanks to y o u for that kin' o' teetotalism, that's
n o the genuine p r i n c i p l e ; besides, I am sure, if we were
a' p l e d g e d , and sterling to the cause, w e wad soon see a
different state o ' things, for I am quite c o n v i n c e d it wad
be a general salve for a' our distresses.
In the first place,
it w o u l d prevent 4 5 millions bushels of g o o d grain from
being destroyed every year, which w o u l d have a great
t e n d e n c y to cheapen our f o o d , enabling us to manufacture
our g o o d s at a cheaper rate, and to c o p e with other
the Corn B i l l ; and besides all this, the miseries and
crimes, the misfortunes and calamities, the lunacy ana
suicide, the Sabbath desicration and a thousand other evils
w o u l d almost entirely vanish from a m o n g us.
T . Really J o h n , y e seem to hae't, a' b y the b a c k , and
I must confess, there's a g o o d deal o* truth in what y e

say; but what wad become o' our puir revenue if we
were a' to drap drinking, there wad be a bonny cry out
then, for we hae facht enough to get the win* rais'd as it
is.
J. W e e l Thomas* to be plain w i ' y o u , I think the
kindra is quite blin on that subject; I ken vera weel w e
hae great revenue aff drink, nae less than 16 millions, but
folk never think o ' the frightsome expense that thae
liquors bring on us, mair I believe, than a' they produce.
See the tremendous Jails, Hospitals, and Asylums we hae
to support; see the Judges, the Sheriffs, the Fiscals, and
the awful army o* Policemen w e hae to p a y ; see the
Criminals we hae to f e e d ; the host o ' Witnesses and
Lawyers which must be paid for prosecutions and trials;
and the enormous sums levied from us in the character
of Rogue M o n e y and Prison M o n e y ; see the thousands
paid for support of our criminal Colonies, for Freight of
Vessels to send them to these Colonies no less than 8 6 0 0 0
peing paid last year for that purpose;—-then say whether
or not our country is benefitted by the revenue produced
from these destructive drinks.
T . I really must confess, John, you have almost made
me a Total Abstainer, and I do n o w consider it my duty
to give nae langer ony countenance to thae vile drinks j
but I think w e hae rather gaen aff the point a w e e ; w e
were talking about dull trade, and the causes o ' t : y e
surely dinna think that drinking has been the cause o ' sae
mony bankruptcies amang us, to crack our credit, derange
our business, and cause sic an unparalelled stagnation o'
trade.
J. D e e d Thomas, I dinna think w e were the least aff
the point about the cause o' our dull trade, for I hinna
the least doubt in m y mind, but drinking is the cause o '
a' this wretchedness we're labouring under; for,
independent
o' the great sum
�8
keppit rnony a Back Bill, I hae nae doubt but mony o'
ane o' thae Win' Bills were drawn and accepted under the
influence o' the Bowl; and I am quite satisfied that if a'
our trading men had been teetotalers for ten years back,
there would neither have been dull trade nor bankruptcies
amang us; and our present sufferings are only a just
that spring from that source; and so wide is the evil
effects of the drinking system, that it has seized upon
almost every fibre of commerce, and so long as Alcoholic
drinks are encouraged and countenanced by the upper
ranks of society, and by our Ministers and Magistrates,
I never expect to see things much better, for all classes
sink under its demoralizing influence.
Our Cabinet
Ministers, our Pulpit Ministers, our highest gifted Literary Men, down to our humblest Artisans, all have
you a good night, Thomas—I hope you'll go to-morrow
and sign the Pledge, and 1 trust we'll soon see better
times.
T . Good night John.

Dugald MacTaggart.
The Last Rose of Summer.
I have parks, I have grounds.
I'll think on thee, my love.
Love's blind, they say.
EDINBURGH :
PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS.
�DUGALD M'TAGGART.
Would you'll know me my name, 'od
she's Dugald M'Taggart,
She'll brought hersel down frae the hills
o' Lochaber,
T o learn her nainsell to be a grand
haberdabber
Or a braw linen drabber, the tane or the
twa.
When she'll come to the laigh kintra,
'od she'll look unco shy like,
For she was na weel acquant ye see wi'
the laigh kintra dialect,
Hoo hoo, never heed, 'od she'd plenty
o' gaelic,
There's no ane had mair on the braes o'
Glendoo.
Then she'll tak a big shop and she'll
turn a great dealer,
She'll get the lang trust, and they'll no
^ seek nae bailure,
|
But Dugald M'Taggart hersell maks
failure,
a
�And they'll call her a bankrupt—a trade
she'll not knew.
They'll then call a meeting, 'od she'll
look unco quiet now,
She was keen to get awa, but faith they
bade her to wait now,
And they'll talk a' the while about a
great estate now,
'Od she'll think that they thought her
the laird o' Glendoo.
Then they'll syne seek her name to—
they'll ca'd a trust deeder,
Faith hersel wadna sign 'cause hersel
couldna read her,
And they'll seek componsitions, hoo hoo
never heed her,
There's nae sic a word on the braes o'
Glendoo.
If I'd hane my durk, by the L—d I'd
devour them,
For they took me to jail though I stood
there afore them,
But now I've gotten put on a hashie
minorum,
�4
And faith I'm as free as the winds on
Glendoo.
T H E LAST ROSE OF SUMMER.
'Tis the last rose of summer left blooming
alone,
All its lovely companions are faded and
gone;
No flow'r of its kindred, no rose-bud is
nigh,
To reflect back its blushes, or heave
sigh for sigh,
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to
pine on the stem,
Since the lovely are sleeping, go sleep
thou with them;
Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the
bed.
Where thy mates of the garden lye
scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow when friendships
decay,
And from love's shining circle the gems
�5
true hearts are withered, and fond
ones are flown,
O who would inhabit this bleak world
alone.
When
THE GIRL OF MY
HEART.
I have parks, I have grounds,
I have deer, I have hounds,
And for sporting a neat little cottage,
I have youth, I have wealth,
I have strength, I have health,
Yet I mope like a beau in his dotage.
What can I want?—-'Tis the girl of my
heart;
To share those treasures with me,
For had I the wealth which the Indies
impart,
No pleasure would it give me,
Without the lovely girl of my heart.
The sweet lovely girl of my heart.
My domain far extends,
And sustains social friends,
Who make music divinely enchanting;
We have balls, we have plays,
We have routs, public days
�6
And yet still I find something is wanting:
What should it be, but the girl of my
heart,
To share those treasures with me !
For had I the wealth which the Indies
impart,
No pleasure it would give me,
Without the lovely girl of my heart
Then give me the girl of my heart,
I'LL THINK ON THEE, MY LOVE.
In storms, when clouds obscure the sky;
And thunders roll, and lightnings fly,
In midst of all these dire alarms,
I think, my Sally, on thy charms,
The troubled main,
The wind and rain,
My ardent passion prove;
Lash'd to the helm,
Should seas overwhelm,
When rocks appear on every side,
And art is vain the ship to guide:
In varied shapes when death appears,
The thought of thee my bosom cheers
I'll
�7
The troubled main,
The wind and rain,
My ardent passion prove;
Lash'd to the helm,
Should seas, o'erwhelm,
I'd think on thee, my love.
But should the gracious pow'rs be kind,
Dispel the gloom, and still the wind,
And waft me to thy arms once more,
Safe to my long lost native shore.
No more the main
I'd tempt again,
But tender joys improve;
I then with thee
Should happy be,
And think on nought but love.
LOVE HAS EYES.
Love's blind, they say,
• O never, nay;
Can words Love's grace impart?
The fancy, weak,
The tongue may speak,
But eyes alone the heart,
�8
In one soft look what language lies!
O yes, believe me, Love has eyes.
Love's wing'd, they cry—
O, never, I—
On pinions love to soar;
Deceivers rove,
But never love,
Attach'd he moves no more:
Can he have wings who never flies?
And yes, believe me, Love has eyes.
FINIS.

FAVOURITE
SONGS.
Hurra for the Bonnets o' Blue,
A Soldier's Gratitude.
Thou hast left me ever, Jamie.
Had I a Heart for falsehood framed.

Away with Melancholy.

�H U R R A H FOR
THE
BONNETS
OF
BLUE
Hurra for the bonnets of blue,
Hurra for the bonnets of blue
It's guid to support Caledonia's cause.
And bide by the bonnets of blue.
It's guid to be merry and wise,
It's guid to be honest and true;
It's guid to support Caledonia's cause,
And bide by the bonnets of blue.
Here's freedom to them that would read,
Here's freedom to them that would write ;
There's nane ever feared that the truth should be
heard,
But they whom the truth would indite,
Hurrah for the bonnets of blue,
Hurrah for the bonnets of blue ;
It's guid to be wise, to be honest, and true.
And bide by the bonnets of blue.

A SOLDIER'S GRATITUDE.
Whatever my fate—where'er I roam—
By sorrow still oppressed ;
I'll ne'er forget the peaceful home ;
That gave the wanderer rest.
Then ever rove life's sunny banks,
By sweetest flowerets strewed :
Still may you claim a soldiers thanks--A soldier's gratitude.
The tender sigh, the balmy tear,
That meek-eyed pity gave;
My last expiring hour shall cheer,
And bless the wanderer's grave.
Then ever rove life's sunny banks,
By sweetest flowerets strewed ;
Still may you claim a soldiers thanks—
A soldier's gratitude.
THOU H A S T L E F T M E EVER, J A M I E .
Thou hast left me ever, Jamie,
Thou hast left
ever ;
�Thou hast left me ever, Jamie,
Thou hast left me ever.
Aften thou hast vowed that death.
Only should us sever ;
Now thou'st left thy lass for aye ;
I maun see thee never, Jamie,
Thou hast me forsaken, Jamie,
Thou hast me forsaken :
Thou hast me forsaken, Jamie,
Thou hast me forsaken.
Thou canst love another j o
While my heart is breaking
Soon my weary een I'll close,
Never mair to waken, Jamie,
Never mair to waken.

Had I a heart for falsehood framed,

For though your tongue no promise claim'd,
Your charms would make me true,
To you no soul should bear deceit,
No stranger offer wrong :
But
friends in all the agedyou'llmeet,
And lovers in the young.
But when they learn that you have bless'd?
Another with your heart;
They'll bid aspiring passion rest,
And act a brothers part.
Then, Lady, dread not their deceit,
Nor fear to suffer wrong;
For friends in all the aged you'll meet,
And lovers in the young.

It is not so—is not so—
The world may think me gay,
And on my cheek the ready smile

The ray which tips with gold the stream.
Gilds not the depths below ;
All bright alike the eye may
But yet—it is not so.
Why to the cold and careless throng
My ceaseless grief reveal?
Why speak of what I was, to those
Who do not, cannot feel ?
No! joy may light the brow—unknown
Unseen my tear drops flow,
'Tis my poor sorrowing heart alone
Responds—it is not so,
U P IN T H E M O R N I N G

Up in the morning's no for me,
Up in the morning early ;
When a the hills are cover'd wi' snaw,
I'm sure it's winter fairly,
Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west,
The drift is driving sairly ;

I'm

Up in the morning &c.
The birds sit chattering on the thorn,
A' day they fare but sparely;
And lang's the night frae e'en to morn,
I'm sure it's winter fairly.
Up in the morning, &c.
AWAY WITH MELANCHOLY.
Away with melancholy,
Not doleful changes ring ;
On life and human folly,
But merrily, merrily sing.

Come on ye rosy hours,
Gay smiling m o m e n t bring ;
We'll strew the way with flowers,
And merrily, merrily sing,

For what's the use of sighing,
While time is on the wing?
Can we prevent his flying ?
Then merrilly, merrily sing,

ON BELVIDERA'S BOSOM LYING.
On Belvidera's bosom lying,
Wishing, panting, sighing dying,
The cold regardless maid to move,
With unavailing prayers I sue,
Yon first have taught me how to love,
O teach me to be happy too.
But she, alas! unkindly wise,
To all my sighs and tears replies,
'Tis every prudent maid's concern.
Her lover's fondness to improve,
If to be happy you should learn,
You quickly would forget to love.

�SONGS.
NAPOLEON'S
DREAM.
One night sad and languid I went to my bed,
And scarce had reclin'd on my pillow,
When a vision surprising came into my head,
Methought I was crossing the billow ;
Methought as my vessel dash'd over the deep,
I beheld that rude rock that grows craggy and steep,
A h ! that rock where the willow is now seen to weep
O'er the grave of the once-famed Napoleon.
I dreamt, as my vessel she near'd to the land,
I beheld clad in green his bold figure,
The trumpet of fame he clasp'd firm in his hand,
On his brow there sat valour and rigour;
A h ! stranger, he cried, hast thou ventur'd to me
From the land of thy fathers, who boast they are
free?
If so, a true story I'll tell unto thee,
Concerning the once-famed Napoleon.
Remember that year so immortal, he cried,
When I cross'd the rude Alps — fam'd in story,
With the legions of France—for her sons were my
pride,
And I led them to honour and glory!
On the plains of Marengo I tyranny hurl'd,
And whenever my banner the Eagle unfurl'd,
'Twas the standard of freedom all over the world,
The signal of Fame—cried Napoleon.
�3
As a soldier I've borne both the heat and the cold,
I have march'd to the trumpet and cymbal,
But by dark deeds of treachery I have been sold,
Though monarchs before me did tremble.
Now rulers and princes their station demean,
And like scorpions they spit forth their venom and
spleen,
But Liberty soon o'er the world shall be seen,
As I woke from my dream, cried Napoleon.
M E E T ME, MISS M O L L Y
MALONE.
Meet me, Miss Molly Malone,
A t the grove at the end of the vale ;
But be sure that you don't come alone,
Bring a pot of your master's strong ale ;
With a nice bit of beef, and some bread.
Some pickles or cucumbers green,
Or a nice little dainty pig's head,
'Tis the loveliest tit bit e'er seen.
Then meet me, Miss Molly Malone.
Pastry may do for the gay,
Old maids may find comfort in tea,
But there's something about ham and beef,
That agrees a deal better with me.
Remember my cupboard is bare,
Then come, if my dear life you prize ;
I'd have liv'd the last fortnight on air,
But you sent me two nice mutton pies.
Then meet me, Miss Molly Malone.

PITY
AND
PROTECT THE
SLAVE.
Sons of freedom, hear my story,
Mercy well becomes the brave ;
Humanity is Briton's glory,
Pity and protect the slave.
Free-born daughters, who, possessing
Eyes to conquer, hearts to save,
To receive a father's blessing,
Pity and protect the slave.
G R E E N H I L L S OF
TYROL,
Green hills of Tyrol, again I see
The home of childhood so dear to me,
Again I press the verdant shade,
Where oft my footsteps have wildly stray'd;
Once more I am near him,
M y own one, my fond one ;
Again I shall hear him
Love's accents repeat;
While to his sighs my heart replies,
And every glance issoftandsweet.
Green hills ofTyrol,&c.
From yonder woodlands, sounding clear,
With eye of hawk, and falchion keen,
His merry bugle I hear ;
He comes, he comes — m y Tyrolien.
�Once more I behold him,
My dear one, my fond one,
To my bosom I'll fold him,
My Own Tyrolien.
Haste, haste my love, why linger now ?
The sun is shedding his partial glow ;
The chamois seeks his peaceful glade,
And homeward wanders the mountain maid
Oh come then and cheer me,
My own one, my fond one,
Again thou shalt hear me
Sing Love's tender strain.
While every note my lips repeat,
As soft and sweet thou'lt breathe again.
Then haste, my love, &c.
Hark, hark, I hear his well-known cry,
While answering echo makes reply ;
Now, now, he waves, his scarf of green,
He comes, he comes—my Tyrolien.
Once more I behold him,
My dear one—my fond one—
To my bosom I'll fold him,
My own Tyrolien.
T H E B I R K S OF
ABERFELDY.
Bonny lassie, will ye go,
Will ye go, will ye go,
Bonny lassie, will ye go
To the birks of Aberfeldy.
�6
Now summer blinks on flowery braes,
And o'er the crystal streamlet plays,
Come let us spend the lightsome days,
In the birks of Aberfeldy.
While o'er their heads the hazels hing,
The little birdies blythely sing,
Or lightly flit on wanton wing,
In the birks of Aberfeldy.
The braes ascend like lofty wa's,
The foaming stream deep roaring fa's,
O'erhung wi' fragrant spreading shaws,
The birks of Aberfeldy.
The hoary cliffs are crown'd wi' flowers,
White are the linns the burnie pours,
And rising, weets wi' misty showers
The birks of Aberfeldy.
Let fortune's gifts at random flee,
They ne'er shall draw a wish frae me,
Supremely blest wi' love and thee.
In the birks of Aberfeldy.
T H E M A I D OF J U D A H .
Mo more shall the children of Judah sing
The lay of a happier time ;
Nor strike the harp with the golden string,
'Neath the sun of an eastern clime.
�7
This—this was the lay of the Jewish maid,
Though not in her father's bowers,
Sweetly she sung—while in sadness she stray'd
Near the ruins of Babylon's towers.
No more, &c.
Where are the sons of mine ancient race?
That were born but the javelin to bear ;
Land of my kindred, whose ruins I trace,
That once was so lovely and fair.
The green grass grows on the fertile spot,
Where once grew the sweetest of flowers ;
Land of my kindred shall never be forgot,
While a ruin remains of thy towers.
No more, &c.
L A N G S Y N E BESIDE THE WOODLAND BURN.
Langsyne beside the woodland burn,
Amang the broom sae yellow,
I lean'd me 'neath the milk-white thorn,
On nature's mossy pillow ;
Around my seat the flow'rs were strew'd,
That frae the wild-wood I had pu'd,
To weave mysel' a summer snood,
To pleasure my dear fellow.
I twin'd the woodbine round the rose,
Its richer hues to mellow ;
Green sprigs of fragrant birk I chose,
To busk the sedge sae yellow.
�8
The craw-flow'r blue, and meadow-pink,
I wove in primrose braided link,
But little, little did I think
I should have wove the willow.
My bonnie lad was forc'd afar,
Toss'd on the raging billow,
Perhaps he's fa'n in bloody war,
Or wreck'd on rockyshallow;
Yet, aye I hope for his return,
A s round our wonted haunts I mourn,
And often by the woodland burn
I pu' the weeping willow.
T H E GIRL W E L O V E .
To the traveller benighted and lone on the wild,
O sweet is the prospect of shelter and rest;
And dear to the mother's fond heart is her child,
When she feels his young breath glowing warm on her
breast.
To the prisoner relieved from dungeon deep,
'Tis sweet o'er the heather-clad hills torove;
But the spirit with livelier bound doth leap,
To meet in the gloamin' the girl we love.
To wander at e'en through the meadows so green,
With raptur'd emotion my bosom has beat;
But what gave enchantment and life to the scene ?
What made it so lovely, fair, and sweet ?
'Twas that Jessie was there, with her mild witching
smile,
And the life-giving glance of her dark hazel eye ;
'Twas this tun'd to music the murm'ring rill,
And brighten'd each star that gem'd the sky.
