THE MUSICAL REPOSITORY, ^J9
Oft have I roam 'd by bonny Doun,
To fee the rofe and woodbine twine,
Where ilka bird fling o'er its note,
And cheerfully I jein'd with mine.
\Vi' heartfome gfee I pull'd a rofe,
A rofe out of yon thorny tree ;
But my falfe Ibve has ftoln the r«fe,
And left the thorn behind to me.
Ye rofes blaw your bonny blooms,
And draw the wild birds by the burn ^
For Luman promis'd me a ring,
And ye maun aid me fhonld I mouni;
Ah ! na, na, na, ye needna mourn.
My een are dim and drowfy worn ;
Ye bonny birds ye needna fmg,
For Luman never can. return.
My Luman 's iovs, in broken fighs.
At dawn of day by Doun ye'fc hear.
And mid-day, by the willow green,-
For him I'll (hed a filent tear.
Sweet birdsi I ken ye'll pity me,
And join me \vi' a plaintive, fang,
While echo wakes, and join^. the man??-
l»mak' for him 1 loe'U fde kng.
