II. LOVE : GENERAL
109
Yonder Clouden's silent towers
Where, at moonshine's midnight
hours,
O'er the dewy bending flowers
Fairies dance sae cheery.
Ghaist nor bogle shalt thou fear,
Thou'rt to Love and Heav'n sae
dear,
Nocht of ill may come thee near,
My bonie dearie.
Fair and lovely as thou art,
Thou hast stown my very heart ;
I can die — but canna part,
My bonie dearie.
