Such was my life's deceitful morningSuch the pleasures I enjoyed:But lang or noonloud tempests stormingA' my flowery bliss destroy'd.Tho' fickle fortune has deceiv'd me-She promis'd fairand perform'd but illOf mony a joy and hope bereav'd me-I bear a heart shall support me still. Song - I Dream'd I Lay I dream'd I lay where flowers were springingGaily in the sunny beam List'ning to the wild birds singingBy a falling crystal stream:Straight the sky grew black and daring Thro' the woods the whirlwinds rave Tress with aged arms were warringO'er the swelling drumlie wave. There lives a lass beside yon parkI'd rather hae her in her sarkThan you wi' a' your thousand mark That gars you look sae high.O TibbieI hae seen the day&c. ButTibbielasstak' my advice:Your daddie's gear maks you sae nice The deil a ane wad speir your priceWere ye as poor as I.O TibbieI hae seen the day&c. Butif he hae the name o' gearYe'll fasten to him like a brierTho' hardly hefor sense or learBe better than the kye.O TibbieI hae seen the day&c. Altho' a lad were e'er sae smartIf that he want the yellow dirtYe'll cast your head anither airtAnd answer him fu' dry.O TibbieI hae seen the day&c. But sorrow tak' him that's sae meanAltho' his pouch o' coin were cleanWha follows ony saucy queanThat looks sae proud and high.O TibbieI hae seen the day&c. ![]() I doubt nalassbut ye may thinkBecause ye hae the name o' clinkThat ye can please me at a winkWhene'er ye like to try.O TibbieI hae seen the day&c. When coming hame on Sunday lastUpon the road as I cam pastYe snufft and ga'e your head a cast-But trowth I care't na by.O TibbieI hae seen the day&c. Yestreen I met you on the moorYe spak nabut gaed by like stour Ye geck at me because I'm poorBut fient a hair care I.O TibbieI hae seen the day&c. O TibbieI hae seen the dayYe wadna been sae shy For laik o' gear ye lightly meButtrowthI care na by. Song - O TibbieI Hae Seen The Day Tune - "Invercauld's Reelor Strathspey." Choir. 'Tis this in Nelly pleases me'Tis this enchants my soul For absolutely in my breastShe reigns without control. A gaudy dress and gentle airMay slightly touch the heart But it's innocence and modestyThat polishes the dart. She dresses aye sae clean and neatBoth decent and genteel And then there's something in her gaitGars ony dress look weel. But Nelly's looks are blythe and sweetAnd what is best of a'Her reputation is completeAnd fair without a flaw. A bonie lassI will confessIs pleasant to the e'e Butwithout some better qualitiesShe's no a lass for me. As bonie lasses I hae seenAnd mony full as braw Butfor a modest gracefu' meinThe like I never saw. ![]() Song - Handsome Nell^1 Tune - "I am a man unmarried." Once I lov'd a bonie lassAyand I love her still And whilst that virtue warms my breastI'll love my handsome Nell. //- namespace in formato Kindle (mobi) - Kindle File Ebook (mobi) Formato per Iphone, Ipad e Ebook (epub) - Ipad, Iphone and Ebook reader format (epub) Versione ebook di powered by ![]() - // // Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.
