HE'S AWA' AND LEFT US:
A DIRGE.
He's now awa' we a' kenn'd weel,
He's now awa' for evermair;
He's now awa' and left us a',
And for the loss our hearts are sair.
He's now awa' for evermair;
He's now awa' and left us a',
And for the loss our hearts are sair.
Wi' youth's warm cheek and heart sae leal,
Wi' love's sweet smile, kind, in his e'e,
He had to bid us a' fareweel,
And ne'er again his face we'll see.
Wi' love's sweet smile, kind, in his e'e,
He had to bid us a' fareweel,
And ne'er again his face we'll see.
He's now awa', &c.
Aft has he join'd our cheerfu' ring,
To spend in social glee the night,
Beneath the shade of pleasure's wing,
In harmony, till morning light.
To spend in social glee the night,
Beneath the shade of pleasure's wing,
In harmony, till morning light.
He's now awa', &c.
