Classic Poem

Gloomy Winter's Now Aw A

Gloomy winter's now awa'
Saft the westling breezes blaw,
'Mang the birks of Stanely shaw
The mavis sings fu' cheary, O;
Sweet the crawflow'r's early bell
Decks Gleniffer's dewy dell,
Blooming like thy bonny sel',
My young, my artless dearie, O.
Come, my lassie, let us stray
O'er Glenkilloch's sunny brae,
Blythely spend the gowden day,
'Midst joys that never weary, O.

Tow'ring o'er the Newton woods,
Lav'rocks fan the snaw-white clouds,
Siller saughs, with downy buds,
Adorn the banks sae briery, O;
Round the sylvan fairy nooks,
Feath'ry breckans fringe the rocks,
'Neath the brae the burnie jouks,
And ilka thing is cheary, O;
Trees may bud, and birds may sing,
Flow'rs may bloom, and verdure spring,
Joy to me they canna' bring,
Unless wi' thee, my dearie, O.English
