The sun lies clasped in amber cloud
Half hidden by the men, And o'er the sands the flowing tide
Comes racing merrily
The hawthorn hedge is white with binom,
The wind is soft and lown And sad and still you watch by me,
Your hand clasped, in my own.

And lift my head a wee, And let the bonny setting sun Glint in on you and me, The world looks bright and fair, Jessie
Near loving hearts like, you But paritith's blast simmer love
And makes leal friendship few. How often in the dreary night I clasp my burning hands" Upon those throbbing sleepless lids D'er cyes like glowing brands; And wonder in my weary brain
If haply when I am dead My old boon friends for love of ma Will give my bairnies bread. Ob did the poor not help the poor
Each in their simple way With humble gift and kindly word
God pity them. I say,
For many a man who clasped my hand
With pledges o'er the bowl
When the wine halo passed away
Proved but A niggard soul.
Oh blessed hope 'mids our distress
There is a promise made.
That in the day the rough, wind blows The east wind, shall be stayed.
A few more years and those I love
Will come again to me
To that bright reala without a sun
That laud without a sea. Oh wilt thon gang of nights Jessie,
To my forsaken hearth And be as thou hast been to me
The truest friend on earth Sac sweetly in your lianet' voice
You'll sing my weans to rest. While Jeannis leans her weary, bend
Upon thy loving breast.
Oh, what is fame Its-wealth of lave Cools not the fevered brów, Will't tell his name in future days Who whistled at the plough.
And wrote a simple song or two
Fur happier hearts to sing
