Farewell for aye : a salt tear dims
The eye that never wept before ;
Our mortal pilgrimage is o'er,
And now we part to meet no more !

Our lay of joy is past and gone, That once in vaulted halls we sung ;

Of mirth, high dames and lords among :

And now we gaze with sadness on The narrow home where song must end ; There no merry lays ascend Where my feeble footsteps wend.

Here on this oak that bourgeons fair, I'll hang thy wires of witching tone ; The passing breeze will cause them moan, And swell my requiem when I'm gone.

The traveller faint will list'ning stare, And marvel whence thy sounds proceed, The fairy king in buxom weed, Will leave his dance to hear thy rede.

But chief of all, the love-lorn maid, When dusky twilight clouds the sky, Eluding watchful guardian's eye Towards this sacred spot will hie.

Beneath thy oaks' embow'ring shade She'll muse, and count each straggling ray The moon sheds on its lovely way, Along thy frame of silvery grey.

She'll hear thee woo'd by wandering gale,
Rise sweetly in thy midnight song,
Now, rapid roll, full ton'd, and strong,
Now, low and dying, weep along.

Oh! she will hear thee oft bewail
The fate of lovers true, and tell,
How many an evil tide befell
Maids, who have lov'd but all too well.

The steel-clad knight as home he wends, From battle toils, and sieges dire, Will pause, and check his courser’s fire, And under thy old oak retire :

For, lo ! thy song of triumph blends Its warlike notes with rustling breeze ; And falling, rising, through the trees, Mimes his old hall's festivities.

O Harp ! be still a little while,
Nor wake thy dirge of melting numbers,
Stay till thy master calmly slumbers,
Where no bale his bliss encumbers.

Now, take with thee his last faint smile,
And benison, in death's arms given,
Oh now begin thy mournful steven,
And waft my soul on it to heaven!

Ah! Mary, sweetest maid, farewell,
All in the merry Whitsuntide,
All white hang the bushes o'er Elaw's sweet stream,
Amid Loch-Catrine's scenery wild,
A moment pause, ye British fair,

note And art thou gone,

for ever gone,
And can thy bosom bear the thought,
And has she then fail'd in her truth,

Paintly as tolls the evening chime,
Fair dream of my slumber, sad thoughts of my waking,
Far lone amang the highland hills,
Farewell ! if ever fondest prayer,
Farewell, oh sweet hope! I have wept thee in sadness,
For many a wistful hour to pity dear,

Let every valiant son of Gaul,
Let high Benledi rear its tap,
Let us go, lassie, go,
Let us haste to Kelvin grove, bonnie lassie, 0,
Light springs the pang, light passes by,
Loud roar'd the tempest, the night was descending,
Love under Friendship’s vesture white,
Love will not bloom where envy breathes,

note

Maiden, wrap thy mantle round thee,
Maid of the cold suspicious heart,
Mark'd you her eye of heavenly blue,
Mary, why thus waste thy youth-time in sorrow,
May heaven holpe the Mayde,
Merrily every bosom boundeth,
Mine be a cot beside the hill,
Money maks us bonny,
My bonny black meer's dead,
My cruel love to danger go,
My father and mother now lie with the dead,
My friend is the man I would copy through life,
My dying sire, in battle slain,
My Harry was a gallant gay,
My heart is sair, I darena tell,
My love can boast a sweeter flower,
My soul is dark-Oh! quickly string,
