song, posed in spring
tune—“jockey's grey breeks.”
again rejoig nature sees
her robe assume its vernal hues:
her leafy locks wave in the breeze,
all freshly steep'd in m dews.
chorus.—and maun i still on menie doat,
ahe s that's in her e'e?
for it's jet, jet bck, an' it's like a hawk,
an' it win a body be.
in vain to me the cowslips bw,
in vain to me the vi'lets spring;
in vain to me in glen or shaw,
the mavis and the lintwhite sing.
and maun i still, &c.
the merry ploughboy cheers his team,
