THE BANKS O' CLYDE.
AIR : — " 0' a' the airts^
By Clyde's clear stream a flow'ret groAvs,
A flow'ret rich an' rare ;
Nae lordly ha' nor mountain bower
Can boast a flower sae fair —
sweet are Scotland's maids, I ween,
By mountain, glen, an' tide —
But nane can vie wi' her I loe
Upon the banks o' Clyde.
It is na for her saft red lips,
jS'or for her sparklin' een ;
It is na for her gentle form,
I^or yet her artless mein ;
But it's for her mind sae pure,
Adorned in angel pride,
That I hae sighed an' pined wi' hive
Upon the banks o' Clyde.
