⟨Or⟩ salling on the Midnight deep,
⟨While⟩ weary mess-mates soundly sleep,
⟨The⟩ careful watch patroles the deck,
⟨To⟩ guard the ship from foes or wreck;
⟨And,⟩ while his thoughts oft homeward veer,
⟨Some⟩ friendly voice salutes his ear,
⟨What⟩ cheer? Brother, quickly tell,
⟨Above,⟩ below, good-night—all's well.

 

The Birks of Aberfeldy.

⟨Bonny⟩ lassie, will ye go,
⟨Will⟩ ye go, will ye go,
⟨Bonny⟩ lassie, will ye go
To the Birks of Aberfeldy.

⟨Now⟩ Simmer blinks on flowery braes,
⟨And⟩ o'er the crystal streamlets plays,
⟨Come⟩, let us spend the lightsome days
In the Birks of Aberfeldy.

⟨Bonny⟩ lassie, will ye go,
⟨Will⟩ ye go, will ye go,
⟨Bonny⟩ lassie, will ye go,
To the Birks of Aberfeldy.

⟨The⟩ little birdies blythely sing,
⟨While⟩ o'er their heads the hazels hing,
⟨Or lightly⟩ flit on wanton wing
In the Birks of Aberfeldy.
