Her looks were like a flower in May,
her smile was like a summer morn;
She tripped by the banks of Ern,
as light's a bird upon a thorn.
Blythe, &c.

AULD LANGSYNE.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
an’ never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
an’ days o’ langsyne?

For auld langsyne, my dear;
For auld langsyne;
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
forauld langsyne.

We twa hae run about the braes,
an’ pu’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin’ auld langsyne.

For auld langsyne, &c.

We twa hae paidelt in the burn,
whan simmer days were prime,
But seas between us braid hae roar’d,
sin’ auld langsyne.

For auld langsyne, &c.
