Welcome I wa«( and ay hidden f<> sta\
Ahinow I am wed to a sad druken man,

JMY AIJV FIRESIDE,
V
,S.nru' Air.
0,1 hae seen great anes, and sat in great ha's ,
Mang Lords, and mang Ladies, a' covered wi'braw s;
At feasts made for Princes, wi' Princes Ive been,
Wliar the grand shine o' splendor has dazzled my < ' n .
But a sight sae deligbtf ul, I trow, I ne'er spied ,
As the bonny blyfhe blink o' my ain fireside .
Ancc mair, Heaven he praised: round my ain heartsonte fugle,
Wi' the friens o' my youth, I cordially mingle;
Nae force now upon me, to seem wae or glad;
I may laugh when I m merry, and sigh when I'm sad .
My ain fireside, my ain fireside,
O sweet is the blink ©Vmy ain fireside.
\ae false-hood to dread, nae malice to fear,
But truth tt> delight me, and kindness to cheer;
O' a' roads t<> pleasure - that ever were tried,
There's lune half sure as anc's ain fireside.
My ain fireside, my ain fireside,
O sweet is the blink o' my ain fireside.
