THE LILY OF ST LEONARDS
Have you seen in yonder glen?
Far frae the haunts or tracts of men,
Have you seen its fairest gem—
The Lily of St Leonards?
Lovely, sporting, young and gay,
How she trips her rugged way,
Glinting like the sunshine ray,
O'er meadows and o’er crags.
Have you seen her sylph-like form,
Like the rainbow in the storm,
Or the gliding of the morn.
On hill or mountain brow?
Have you seen her artless dance,
Like the sparking moonlight glance,
That twitters in a fairy trance
O’er fields thick clad wi’ snow?
Have you heard her morning sang
Echoing woods and caves amang.
Or answer'd by the dashing dang
Of spouts and water driven?
