She oped the door ; she let him in<br />

He cuist aside his dreepin' plaidie<br />

Blaw your warst, ye wind and rain,<br />

Since, Maggie, now I'm in beside ye<br />

Now, since ye're waukin', Maggie,<br />

Now, since ye're waukin', Maggie,<br />

What care I for howlet's cry,<br />

For boor-tree bank and warlock craggie I<br />

WE'LL MEET BESIDE THE DUSKY<br />

GLEN.<br />

TANNAHILL.<br />

Tune— <strong>The</strong>re grows a lonnie Brier BusJu<br />

We'll meet beside the dusky glen on yon burn-side.<br />

Where the bushes form a cozie den, on yon burn-side<br />

Though the broomy knowes be green.<br />

Yet there we may be seen<br />

But we'll meet—we'll meet at e'en, down by yon burn-<br />

side.<br />

I'll lead thee to the birken bower on yon burn-side,<br />

Sae sweitly wove wi' woodbine flower, on yon burn-<br />

side :<br />

<strong>The</strong>re the busy prying eye<br />

Ne'er disturbs the lover's joy,<br />

While in other's arms they lie, down by yon burn-side.<br />

Awa, ye rude unfeelin' crew, frae yon burn-side !<br />

Those fairy scenes are no for you, by yon burn-side<br />
