O Bonnie Lassie.
0 bonnie lassie, gang yrV me To Caledonia's blythe countrio, Where linnets sing in' tnnefn' throat And lav'rocks chaut wi hear'nly note ; Where wood and glen, and mount and vale Kesound wi luve's pure melting tale. Where hawthorn's bloom like waves of snaw And blue bells smile on ilka shaw : Where hearts are fond, and brave, and trne, And pure as their own mountain dew ; Then, bonnie lassie, let us gang And luve shall ever be our sang. My soul sac laggs to see ance mair The banks »nd braes o' bonny Ayr ; To steal alang the auld Kirk's side Where Tarn O'Shanter's ghaist doth glide ; dome, lassie guide, we'll gang thegither And luve amang the blooming heather. Now hark, the pibrooh's thrilling strain, It warms my bluid in ilka vein, And now I lilt, and noir I'm sad And yigh for thistle and for plaid ; Then, cannie lassie, let us gang, And luve shall ever be our sang. — Gincinatti Commercial.
