Fu' aft on thy banks ha'e we pud the wild gowan,
An twifted a ringlet beneath the haw thorn!
Ah! then each fond moment wi' pleafure was giowin.
Sweet days o' delight which can never return!
Now ever, waes me!
The tear fills mine e'e!
An fair is my heart wi' the rigour o pain!
Nae profpect returning
To gladden life's morning,
For green waves the willow o'er Captain O Kaine.
