THE SCOTTISH BORDER. 217
" Ye'U sit on his white hause bane,
" And 111 pike out his bonny blue een :
" Wi' ae lock o'' his gowden hair,
" Well theek* our nest when it grows bare.
Mony a one for hini makes mane,
But nane sail ken whare he is gane :
O'er his white banes, when they are bare,
The wind sail blaw for evermair."
* Theek— Thatch.
