180 THE POCKET SONGSTER ;
Nor dangers, nor famine, nor blood, can alarm mc.
My soldier is near me, and naething can harm
me."
But say, bonnie lass, when I go into battle,
Where dying men groan, and loud cannons
rattle !
'' O then, bonnie lad, I will share all thy harm?; ;
And shouldst thou be kilFd, I will die in tny
arms."
But say, bonnie lass, when I go, &c.
KITTY OF THE CLYDE.
A BOAT danced on Clyde's bonny stream.
When winds were rudely blowing
There sat what might a goddess seem
The waves beneath her flowing.
But no ; a mortal fair was she,
Surpassing all beside,
And youths aspired her choice to be,
Sweet Kitty of the Clyde.
I saw the boatman spread a sail ;
And while his daftness noting.
The boat was upset by the gale,
I saw sweet Kitty floating.
J plunged into the silver wave,
Wi' Cupid for my guide ;
And thought my heart wcpl lost to save
Swcr! Kitrv of the Clyde,
Nor dangers, nor famine, nor blood, can alarm mc.
My soldier is near me, and naething can harm
me."
