Highland Mary（1 / 2）
highland mary
tune—“katherine ogie.”
ye banks, and braes, and streams around
the castle o' montgomery!
green be your woods, and fair your flowers,
your waters never drumlie:
there simmer first unfauld her robes,
and there the langest tarry;
for there i took the last farewell
o' my sweet highland mary.
how sweetly bloom'd the gay, green birk,
how rich the hawthorn's blossom,
as underneath their fragrant shade,
i clasp'd her to my bosom!
the golden hours on angel wings,
flew o'er me and my dearie;
for dear to me, as light and life,
was my sweet highland mary.
wi' mony a vow, and lock'd embrace,
our parting was fu' tender;
and, pledging aft to meet again,
we tore oursels asunder;
but oh! fell death's untimely frost,
that nipt my flower sae early!
now green's the sod, and cauld's the clay
that wraps my highland mary!
o pale, pale now, those rosy lips,
i aft hae kiss'd sae fondly!
and clos'd for aye, the sparkling glance
that dwalt on me sae kindly! ↑返回顶部↑
