LOGx\N BRAES.
By Logan's streams that run sae deep,
Fu' aft wi' glee I've herded sheep, —
Herded sheep, or gather'd slaes,
Wi' my dear lad on Logan braes.
But wae's my heart these days are gane.
And I wi' grief may herd alane.
While my dear lad maun face his faes.
Far, far frae me, and Logan braes.
Nae mair at Logan kirk will he,
Atween the preachings meet wi' me ;
Meet wi' me, or when its mirk.
Convoy me hame frae Logan kirk.
Well may I sing these days are gane,
Frae kirk or fair I come alane ;
While my dear lad maun face his faes.
Far, far frae me, and Logan braes.
THE BANKS OF THE DEE.
[By Mr Joiix Ho^iE, author of the tragedy of Douglas.}
Tune- — Lafigolec.
'TwAS summer, and softly the breezes were blowings
And sw^eetly the nightingale sung from the tree.
At the foot of a rock, where the river was flowing,
I sat myself down on the banks of the Dee.
Flow on, lovely Dee, flow on, thou sweet river ;
Thy banks' purest streams shall be dear to me ever;
For there I first gain'd the affection and favour
Of Sandy, the glory and pride of the Dee.
