144' SONGS.
THE LANELY LOVER.
Tune— The Banks of the Shannon.
Ah ! Willie now is gaiie frae me_,
Frae Annie gaiie afar.
An' to the saft delights o' love
Preferred the din o' war.
Nae mair at e'en^, wi' heartsome glee,
Thegither we are seen ;
Nae mair we daff amang- the lave,
Or wander o'er the green.
Now in a far aff foreign land.
My comely Willie strays.
An' soon, alake ! the chance o' war
May end his youthfu' days :
But weel I ken, though far awa,
His faithfii' breast does burn
