INDEX.
I wonder if ye ever tliiuk,
It was the summer time,
I've listened to the midnight wind,
I liave wandered afar, 'neath stranger skies,
I knew a child, so sweet, so fair.
In the dim twilight, when the fading day,
I journeyed along, bold, hopeful, and strong,
I hae seen mony scenes,
It is not beauty binds the soul,
I left my love in the homeland dear,
I have waited till Spring's first breath.
In the childhood I remember,
I think of him when now the year brings round,
I sat me down and mused on former days.
Keen the frosty winds were blawing.
Loudon's bonnie woods and braes,
List ! while I tell what forms the mountain's voice.
Let Nature's face be sad or gay,
Let us roam, my bonnie lass,
'Mang hielan' folk an' lowlan' folk,
My sands are well nigh shaken.
My Dear — Since first I see'd.
My Very Good Sir — In this rhyming age, .
My brothers are the stately trees.
My lonely harp, my early friend.
Morn on the waters ! and, purple and bright.
Now leaves the sun this mojley hemisphere,
Now from the east, day's lamp began to rise,
Now, row thee weel, my bonnie built wherry,
No sound was heard o'er the broom-covered valley.
Now is it pleasing to survey,
Noo winter's cauld win's hae departed,
Now spring returns, and early buds,
Nae harum-scarum chiels for me,
Nae mair speak o' strife wi' a wrangling wife,
Now vernal offerings adorn the fruitful ground.
