ADDRESS TO HADDINGTON. 41
Departed days ! Youth's joyfu' reign !
O^ will ye never come again ?
All ! fled is ilka happy scene
Youth ran to meet.
Except whan Fancy warms the strain.
Delusion sweet !
Yet let me pensive musing- stray
By sunny bank an' flowery brae.
While former joys, now fled away.
My bosom warm.
An' dear remembered scenes display
Ilk wonted charm.
How bonny spreads the Haugh sae green.
Near yonder haly ruins seen !
The Briery Bauk how sweet at e'en,
Wi' music's sound,
Whare weel the wandering e'e may glean
Ilk landscape round !
