Neai* me, near me,
Lassie, lie near me,
Lang hast thou lain thy lane :
Lassie, lie near me.
A' that I hae endured,
Lassie, my dearie.
Here in thy arms is cured ;
THOU'RT GANE AWA.
Tune — Hand awafrae 7ue, Donald.
Thou'rt gane awa, thou'rt gane awa,
Thou'rt gane awa frae me, Mary :
Nor friends nor I could mak thee stay ;
Thou hast cheated them and me, Mary.
Until this hour I never thought
That ought would alter thee, Mary ;
Thou'rt still the mistress of my heart,
Think what thou wilt of me, Mary.
Whate'er he said or might pretend,
That staw that heart o' thine, Mary,
True love, I'm sure, was ne'er his end,
Or nae sic love as mine, Mary.
I spake sincere, nor flattered much,
Nae selfish thoughts in me, Mary ;
Ambition, wealth, nor naething such :
No, I loved only thee, Mary.
Though you've been false, yet, while I live,
ril loe nae maid but thee, Mary.
« From Johnson's Musical Museum, Part III, 1790.
