Her monie artless melodies, that move me like a child On far-aflf scenes, and far-aff friends - and Auld Lang Syne !Īuld Scotia's Sangs!- Auld Scotia's Sangs ! -her " native wood notes wild !"
They gar the glass o' memorie glint back wi' brichter shine They're twined wi' monie lovely thochts, wi' monie lo'esomo themes O! bom 0' feeling's warmest depths -o' fancy's wildest dreams, Maun thole the sair saigh rive my breist - the het tear scald my e'e !īut let me list the melodies o' some o' Scotia's sangs,Īnd I will a' forget my waes -will a' forgie my wrangs!
Though warldly grief and warldling's guile maun I like ithers dree, Lo'e weel to croon auld Scotia's sangs-O may they ever sae!Īnd it may be a daffin' lilt - may be a dowie lay! The maiden o'er the milkin' pail, or by the ingle neuk, The hind whase hands are on the pleugh-the shepherd wi' his crook. The Banks and Braes o' Bonnie Douu,-the Afton and the Ayr! The Logan and the Lugar, too, but, hallow'd meikle mair. Whar shepherd swains were wont to blaw auld Scotia's lyric reed. O: lovely in the licht o' sang the Ettrick and the Tweed, Now o'er young luve's impassion'd strain our conscious heart will yearn,-Īnd now our blude fires at the call o' Bruce o' Bannockburu!
Now melt we o'er the lay that wails for Flodden's day o' dule,-Īnd now some rant will gar us loup like daffin' youth at Yule. Whar gloamin' breathed sae sweetly- but far sweeter luve's fond tale! The Lea-rig whar the gowans glint we pu'd in Auld Lang Syne Īnd, mair than a', the Trystin' Thorn that blossom'd down the rale, They bring me back the holms and howes whar sillar burnies shine. Or Catriue's green and yellow Woods in autumn's dwinlng day ! Tlie Dowie Dens o' Yarrow, or the Birks o' Invermay, The Bonnie Broom o' Cowden Knowes, the Bush abune Traquair, They mak' me present wi' the past -they bring up, fresh and fiilr. Yet lilt to me, and I will list -the "native wood notes wild! " Though mak' me wae, or mak' me wud,-or changefu' as a child. O lilt to me, and I will list -will list them o'er and o'er HISTORICAL AND CRITICAL NOTICES REGARDING THEM AND THEIR AUTHORSĪND AN ESSAY ON THE SONG WRITERS OF SCOTLAND,Īui.D Scotia's Pangs ! Auld Scotia's Sangs.
