The calm dewy morning/Gloomy winter

---

GLOOMY WINTER.

Gloomy winter’s now awo,
Saft the western breezes blaw:
Mang the birks o’ Stanely shaw,
The mavis sings fu’ cheery O,
Sweet the craw-flower’s early bell,
Decks Gleniffer’s dewy dell,
Blooming like thy bonny sel’.
My young, my artless dearie O.
Come, my lassie, let us stray,
O'er Glenkilloch’s sunny brae,
Blythly spend the gowden day,
’Midst joys that never weary O.

Tow’ring o’er the Newton woods,
Lav’rocks fan the snaw white clouds;
Siller saugks, wi’ downy buds,
Adorn the bank, sae briery O.
Round the Syluan fairy neuks,
Feath’ry braikens fringe the rocks,
Neath the brae the burnie Jouks.
em}}And ilka thing is cheery O.
Trees may bud, and birds may sing,
Flowers may bloom, and verdure spring,
Joy to me they eanna bring,
Unless wi' thee, my dearie O.
