SongBy Allan Stream
song—by allan stream by allan stream i c'd to rove, while phoebus sank beyond benledi; the winds are whispering thro' the grove, the yellow was waving ready: i listen'd to a lover's sang, an' thought on youthfu' pleasures mony; and aye the wild-wood ech— “o, dearly do i love thee, annie! “o, happy be the woodbine bower, nae nightly bogle make it eerie; nor ever sorrow stain the hour, the plad time i met my dearie! her head upon my throbbing breast, she, sinking, said, 'i'm thine for ever!' while mony a kiss the seal imprest— the sacred vow we ne'er should sever.” the haunt o' spring's the primrose-brae, the summer joys the flocks to follow; how cheery thro' her short'ning day, is autumn in her weeds o' yellow; but they melt the glowi, or the soul in speechless pleasure? or thro' eaerve the rapture dart, like meeting her, our bosom's treasure?
