By Allan stream I chanc'd to rove,
While Phoebus sank beyond Benledi; The winds were whisp'ring thro' the grove,
The yellow corn was waving ready : I listen'd to a lover's sang,
An' thought on youthfu' pleasures monie, And ay the wild wood echoes rang:—
' O, my love Annie's very bonie 1
' O, happy be the woodbine bower,
Nae nightly bogle make it eerie I Nor ever sorrow stain the hour,
The place and time I met my dearie ! Her head upon my throbbing breast,
She, sinking, said:—"I'm thine for ever!" While monie a kiss the seal imprest—
The sacred vow we ne'er should sever.' |
