SCOTCH SONG.—BY ROBERT HAMILTON.
I'll lo'e thee, Anna, while the dew
In siller bells hangs on the tree,
Or while the burnie's waves o' blue
Run wimplin to the rowin sea.
I'll lo'e thee while the gowan mild
Its crimson fringe spreads on the lea;
While blooms the heather in the wild.
Oh! Anna, I'll be true to thee.
I'll lo'e thee while the lintie sings
His sang o' love on whinny brae;
I'll lo'e thee while the crystal springs
Glimt in the gowden gleams o' day.
I'll lo'e thee while there's light aboon,
And stars to stud the breast o' sky;
I'll lo'e thee till life's day is dune,
And bless thee with my latest sigh!
I'll lo'e thee, Anna, while the dew
In siller bells hangs on the tree,
Or while the burnie's waves o' blue
Run wimplin to the rowin sea.
I'll lo'e thee while the gowan mild
Its crimson fringe spreads on the lea;
While blooms the heather in the wild.
Oh! Anna, I'll be true to thee.
I'll lo'e thee while the lintie sings
His sang o' love on whinny brae;
I'll lo'e thee while the crystal springs
Glimt in the gowden gleams o' day.
I'll lo'e thee while there's light aboon,
And stars to stud the breast o' sky;
I'll lo'e thee till life's day is dune,
And bless thee with my latest sigh!
