The Woods and the Forests
Are they accents of love, or the words of command?
'Tis the voice of a lady—the first in the land—
Saying, “Trusty Mackenzie, I'll give you a fee,
If you'll roam through the woods and the forests with me.
'Tis the voice of a lady—the first in the land—
Saying, “Trusty Mackenzie, I'll give you a fee,
If you'll roam through the woods and the forests with me.
“And, Tom, may it not be hereafter your pride,
As snugly you sit by your happy fireside,
To tell little Tommy, who sits on your knee,
How you roamed through the woods and the forests with me?
As snugly you sit by your happy fireside,
To tell little Tommy, who sits on your knee,
How you roamed through the woods and the forests with me?
And when you shall part with your bombasine gown,
And in ermine and silk on the Bench shall sit down,
Won't the great Lord Mackenzie remember with glee
How he roamed through the woods and the forests with me?”
18
Won't the great Lord Mackenzie remember with glee
How he roamed through the woods and the forests with me?”
