SONG.

NANNIE ATTIE.

[_]

FROM NATURE.

[_]

SET TO THE TUNE OF “THE FLOWERS OF THE FOREST.”

And do I see the bairn again
That first I rock'd upo' my knee?
The bairn whose earliest moan I hush'd,
The bairn whose first smile dwelt on me?
Ah! turn aside the lock sae brown
That hides fra' me thy bonnie brow;
For dim with age these eyes are grown,
And tears of gladness blind them now.
Fu' twenty years ha' stolen by
Since Nannie Attie saw thy face;
And these auld eyes or see amiss,
Or still see ilk remember'd grace.
Then turn aside, &c.
246

The same thy ivory temples clear,
Sae kind the things thy young eye said;
'Twas here I traced the vein sae blue,
'Twas here the thought sae pure I read.
Then turn aside, &c.
Southill, Jan. 1808.
