A Farewell

字號(hào):


     GO fetch to me a pint o' wine
     An' fill it in a silver tassie;
     That I may drink before I go
     A service to my bonnie lassie.
     The boat rocks at the pier o' Leith 5
     Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry
     The ship rides by the Berwick-law
     And I maun leave my bonnie Mary.
     The trumpets sound the banners fly
     The glittering spears are rankèd ready;
     The shouts o' war are heard afar
     The battle closes thick and bloody;
     But it's not the roar o' sea or shore
     Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
     Nor shouts o' war that's heard afar—
     It's leaving thee my bonnie Mary.
