COLIN.
I
Take thy crook and go, Colin,Bitter winds do blow, Colin,
Drifting fast the snow, Colin,
Down the Deep Holm Lane.
If the night be wild and dreary,
If the way do make thee weary,
Think we parted with a cheery
Hope to meet again.
Take thy crook and go, Colin, &c.
II
Haply next in May, Colin,Some long sunny day, Colin,
Thou may'st take thy way, Colin,
Down the Deep Holm Lane.
When the new green leaves are growing,
When the frozen brook is flowing,
Primrose tufts and daisies blowing
O'er the bank again.
Haply next in May, Colin, &c.
