Wae is my heart, and the tear's in my e'e ; Lang, lang joy's been a stranger to me: Forsaken and friendless my burden I bear, And the sweet voice o' pity ne'er sounds in my ear.
Love, thou hast pleasures—and deep hae I luv'd ! Love, thou hast sorrows—and sair hae I pruv'd! But this bruised heart that now bleeds in my breast, I can feel by its throbbings, will soon be at rest.
O, if I were where happy I hae been,
Down by yon stream and yon bonie castle-green !
For there he is wand'ring and musing on me,
Wha wad soon dry the tear-drop that clings to my e'e. |
