Lonely I may climb the mountain,
Lonely stray beside the fountain.
Still the weary moments counting
Far frae Love, and thee, Laddie.
O'er the gory fields of War,
When Vengeance drives his crimson car,
Thou'lt maybe fa', frae me afar,
And nane to close thy e'e, Laddie.
O resume thy wonted smile,
O suppress thy fears, Lassie,
Glorious Honour crowns the toil,
That the Soldier shares, Lassie ;
Heav'n will shield thy faithful lover,
'Till the vengeful strife is over,
Then we'll meet nae mair to sever,
'Till the day we die, Lassie ;
? Midst our bonnie woods and braes
We'll spend our peaceful happy days,
As blythe's yon lightsome lamb that plays
On Loudon's flow'ry lea, Lassie s
