CRAIGIE - BURN WOOD.
Sweet fa's eve on Craigie-burn,
And sweetly wakes the morrow.
But a'the pride o' springs return
Can yield me moeht but sorrow.
I see the flowers and spreading- trees,
I hear the wild birds singing;
But what a weary wight can please,
And care his bosom ringing.
Fain, fain would I my griefs impart,
Yet darena for your anger,
But secret love will break my heart,
If I conceal it lander.
If thou refuse to pity me,
If thoushalt love anither,
When yon green leaves fade frae the tree,
Around my grave they'll weather.
