Sing, Gille ma chree, etc.
Էջ 127 - I to myself, a nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse.
Էջ 164 - Dearest! Couldst thou smile on me, I would be the fondest and nearest That ever loved thee: But a cloud on my pathway is glooming That never must burst upon thine; And heaven, that made thee all blooming, Ne'er made thee to wither on mine. Remember me then!
