OR, CALEDONIAN WARBLER. 129
Sweet the charm her looks discover,
In her breast what beauties He,
Frae a fond an' constant lover
Wringing mony a deep-felt sigh,
I hae seen the floweret springing
Gaily o'er the scented lea,
I hae heard the mavis singing
On yon spreading hawthorn tree ;
But, my Jeanie, peerless dearie,
She's the flower attracts my ee ;
When she tunes her voice sae cheerie,
She's the mavis dear to me. GalL
YE VERDANT BREEZES.
Tune — Ye banks and braes o bonny Boon.
Ye verdant breezes as ye skim
Across the flowery verdant fields,
O bear upon your sportive wings
The choicest perfumes Flora yeilds ;
And beai- my sighs, and bear my prayers,
Untainted, to my Jeanie's ear ;
And tell her, though she scorns my love,
She'll to my bosom aye be dear.
Ye little warblers, if alone
She wanders through the shady grovC;
O tune your most melodious notes,
And wake her tender soul to love.
