WAE is my heart, and the tears in my ee;
Lang, lang has Joy been a stranger to me:
Forsaken and friendless, my burden I bear,
And the sweet voice o Pity neer sounds in my ear.
Love thou hast pleasures, and deep hae I luvd;
Love, thou hast sorrows, and sair hae I pruvd;
But this bruisèd heart that now bleeds in my breast,
I can feel, by its throbbings, will soon be at rest.
Oh, if I werewhere happy I hae been
Down by yon stream, and yon bonie castle-green;
For there he is wandring and musing on me,
Wha wad soon dry the tear-drop that clings to my ee.
