M Her lover's wreck'd bark 'neath the deep is abiding, the Long nights did she mourn to the loudraving billow, And, shroudless, his form on And watch the pale light from her lamp faintly burn; And now, in despair, oft doth start from her pillow, And murmur," Dear Dermot, return soon to me, The heart of thy Norah is breaking for thee!" BE DAYS OF DRINKING WINE FORGOT BE days of drinking wine forget, We all have quaff'd to days long past Bright juices of the wine; But let us from our memories cast page, We all can meet as friends should meet, We all together dine, Our bev'rage quaff from fountains sweet, And ne'er regret the wine. A temperance shrine, my friend, my friend, We're pledged at her fair shrine ; And hold her cause above all laws, Or customs of lang syne. HURRAH FOR THE BONNETS OF HERE'S a health to them that's awa, Here's a health to them that's awa, And wha winna wish guid luck to our cause, May never guid luck be their fa', Caledonia's cause, Its guid to support Here's a health to them that's awa, Here's a health to them that's awa, Here's a health to Charlie, the chief of the clan, Although that his band be sma'. write, There's nane ever feared that the truth should be heard, But they whom the truth would indite. Its guid to be wise, to be honest and true, And bide by the bonnets of blue. MAID OF LLANWELLYN. I'VE no sheep on the mountain, nor boat on the lake, Nor coin in my coffer to keep me awake: Nor corn in my garner, nor fruit on the tree, Yet the maid of Llanwellyn smiles sweetly on me. Rich Owen will tell you, with eyes full of scorn, Threadbare is my coat, and my hosen are torn: Scoff on, my rich Owen, for faint is thy glee While the maid of Llanwellyn smiles sweetly on me. The farmer rides proudly to market and fair, And the clerk at the tavern still claims the great chair; But of all our proud fellows the proudest I'll be, While the maid of Llanwellyn smiles sweetly on me. WHEN WAKES THE SUN AT EARLI DAWN. WHEN wakes the sun at early dawn, Which seems to say I come! When sunset tints our glaciers bright The name of names I love. |
