craigieburn wood

sweet fa's the eve on craigieburn,

and blythe awakes the morrow;

but a' the pride o' spring's return

can yield me nocht but sorrow.

i see the flowers and spreading trees,

i hear the wild birds singing;

but what a weary wight can please,

and care his bosom wringing!

fain, fain would i my griefs impart,
