Lanely I may climb the mountain,
Lanely stray beside the fountain,
Still the weary moments counting,
Far frae love and thee, laddie,
O'er the gory fields of war,
When Vengeance drives his crimson car,
Thou'lt maybe fa' frae me afar,
And nane to close thy e'e, laddie.

O resume thy wonted smile,
O suppress thy fear, lassie;
Glorious honour crowns the toil
That the soldier shares, lassie:
Heav'n will shield thy faithfu' lover
Till the vengeful strife is over,
Then we'll meet, nae mair to sever
Till the day we die, lassie:
'Midst our bonny woods and braes,
We'll spend our peaceful happy days,
As blythe's yon lightsome lamb, that pla
On Loudon's flow'ry lea, lassie.

Sleeping Maggie.
O are ye sleeping, Maggie,
O are ye sleeping, Maggie!
Let me in, for loud the linn
Is roaring o'er the warlock craigie.
