S
And blythe awakes the morrow;
But a’ the pride o’ Spring’s return
Can yield me nocht but sorrow.
I hear the wild birds singing; But what a weary wight can please, And Care his bosom wringing! Yet dare na for your anger; But secret love will break my heart, If I conceal it langer. If thou shalt love another, When yon green leaves fade frae the tree, Around my grave they’ll wither.
