When baith bent doun ower ae braid page, Wi' ae buik on our knee, Thy lips were on thy lesson, but My lesson was in thee. Oh, mind ye how we hung our heads, How cheeks brent red wi' shame, Whene'er the scule-weans, laughin' said, We cleek'd thegither hame ? And mind ye o...
Էջ 195 - And long imprisoned feelings fast In deep sobs came. Farewell ! Would that our love had been the love That merest worldlings know, When passion's draught to our doomed lips Turns utter woe, And our poor dream of happiness Vanishes so...
Էջ 100 - THE Water ! the Water ! The joyous brook for me, That tuneth through the quiet night Its ever-living glee. The Water ! the Water !
