dear -er grow to me; But change o' folk, and change o' place, May gar thy fan-cyjee
Then I'll sit down and moan,
Just by yon spreadin' tree,
And gin a leaf fa' in my lap,
I'll ca't a word frae thee.
Syne I'll gang to the bower,
Which thou wi' roses tied :
'Twas there, by mony a blushin' bud,
I strove my love to hide.
I'U doat on Uka spot
Where I hae been wi' thee ;
I'll ca' to mind some fond love-tale
By every burn and tree.
'Tis hope that cheers the mind,
Though lovers absent be ;
And when I think I see thee stiU,
I'U think I' m stiU wi' thee.
