Page 72 - TWAS at the silent solemn hour, When night and morning meet; In glided Margaret's grimly ghost, And stood at William's feet. Her face was like an April morn, Clad in a wintry cloud; And clay-cold was her lily hand That held her sable shroud. So shall the fairest face appear, When youth and years are flown: Such is the robe that kings must wear, When death has reft their crown.
Page 101 - There's nae sorrow there, John, There's neither cauld nor care, John, The day is aye fair In the land o' the leal. Our bonnie bairn's there, John, She was baith gude and fair, John ; And oh ! we grudged her sair To the land o

Page 73 - That face, alas ! no more is fair, Those lips no longer red : Dark are my eyes, now closed in death, And every charm is fled. The hungry worm my sister is ; This winding-sheet I wear : And cold and weary lasts our night, Till that last morn appear. But hark ! the cock has warned me hence ; A long and last adieu ! Come see, false man, how low she lies, Who died for love of you.
Page 105 - THE AULD HOUSE OH, the auld house, the auld house ! What though the rooms were wee ? Oh, kind hearts were dwelling there, And bairnies fu' o' glee ! The wild rose and the jessamine Still hang upon the wa': How mony cherished memories Do they, sweet flowers, reca'!
