And Katie never did repent
That she gaed hame to Gowrie.
For routh o' bonnie bairns had she
Mair strappin lads ye wadna see
And her braw lasses bore the gree
Frae a' the rest o' Gowrie.
AE HAPPY HOUR.
LAING.
;
Tune— r/ie Cock Laird.
The dark gray o' gloami%
The lone leafy shaw,
The coo o' the cushat.
The scent o' the haw.
The brae o' the burnie,
A' blumin in flouir,
And twa faithfu' lovers,
Mak ae happy hour.
A kind winsome wifie,
A clean can tie hame,
And smiling sweet babies,
To lisp the dear name ;
Wi' plenty o' labour,
And health to endure,
Make time to row round ay
The ae happy hour.
Ye lost to affection.
Whom avarice can move
To woo and to marry
For a' thing but love
