Now westlin winds and slaught'ring guns
Bring autumn's pleasant weather; And the moorcock springs, on whirring wings, Amang the blooming heather; Now waving grain, wide o'er the plain, Delights the weary farmer; And the moon shines bright, when I rove at night. To muse upou my charmer. The partridge loves the fruitful fells; The plover loves the mountains; The woodcock haunts tbe lonely dell; The soaring hern the fountains: Thro' lofty groves the cushat roves, The path of man to shun it; The hazel bush o'erhangs the thrush, The spreading thorn the linnet. Thus ev'ry kind their pleasure find, The savage and the tender; Some social join, and leagues combine Some solitary wander: Avaunt, away, the cruel sway! Tyrannic man's dominion; The sportsman's joy, the murd'ring cry, The flutt'ring, gory pinion! But Peggy dear, the evening's clear, Thick flies the skimming swallow; The sky is blue, the fields in view, All fading-green and yellow: Come let us stray our gladsome way, And view the charms of nature; The rustling corn, the fruited thorn, And every happy creature. We'll gently walk, and sweetly talk, Till the silent moon shine clearly; I'll grasp thy waist, and, fondly prest, Swear how I love thee dearly: Not vernal show'rs to budding flow'rs, Not autumn to the farmer, So dear can be as thou to me, My fair, my lovely charmer! My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose O, my luve is like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June. O, my love is like a melodie, That's sweetly play'd in tune. As fair thou art, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I, And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry. Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun! And I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands of life shall run. And fare the weel, my only luve! And fare the well awhile! And I will come again, my love. Tho' it were ten thousand mile!
