BY ROBERT BURNS. 4^^W E bonks, and braes, and streams aroundX^ The eastle o Montgomery, <^ Green be your woods, and fair your waters never drumlie!There simmer first unfald her robes And there she langest tarry! For there I took the last fareweel O my sweet Highland Mary. How sweetly bloomed the gay green birk! How rich the hawthorns bIost;oni!As underneath their fragrant shade I clasped her to my bosom!The golden hours, on angel wings. Flew oer me and my dearie;For dear to me as light and life Was my sweet Highland Mary. Wi monie a vow and locked embrace Our parting was fu tender;And pledging aft to meet again, We tore ourselves asunder;But, oh! fell deaths untimely frost. That nipt my flower sae early!Now green s the sod, and cauld s the clay, That wraps my Highland Mary! Oh pale, pale now, those rosy lips I aft hae kissed sae fondly!And closed for aye the sparkling glance That dwelt on me sae kindly!-?Vnd mouldringnow in silent dust That heart that loed me dearly!
