a MAKT LYLE. (From "Boric Lays" by John G-. Smith J O' bonnie Mary Lyle, d'ye mind the happy days When we daundered down the burnie's side, and » clamb the flowery braes ? There was magic in ye're slae-black e'e, an' music , in ye're Suiile, » Which murmurs in my bosom yet, — my bonnie Mary Lyle. [ Oh ! bright was aye the simmer sun, and clear the simmer sky, An' safb an' sweet the balmy breeze, as lover's L gentlest sigh ; , Tho' nature spread her flowers around, our <■, moments to beguile, I The fairest flower o' a' to me, was bonnie Mary Lyle. , Her cheek was like the new-blawn rose, her brow was like the snaw ; Her hair was like the gowden moon, her waist was jimp an' sma' ; Her breath was like the spicy gale, that floats o'er sunny isle, 1 An angel's grace was in the face o' bonnie Mary Lyle. Oh ! bonnie Mary Lyle, lang years hae rowed awa' Sin' first we metatgloamin' hour, ia Springwood'a leafy shaw ; I've sailed across the saut sea faem, an' wandered mony a mile In lands afar frae love an' you, my bonnie Mary Lyle. I often wonder, Mary Lyle, if e'er ye think on me, An' if the thoughts o' by-gane years bring tears into ye're e'e : It may be that ye're heart is changed ; this world has mony a wile To dim the brightest gem o' love, my bonnie Mary Lyle. * 1 The snaws o' eild are on my head, its wrinkles on my brow ; But yet at morn an' gloamin' fa', my dreams are aye o' you. ' O' weel I mind the tears we shed, when at the auld kirk style, I bade a last an' lang adieu to bonnie Mary Lyle Soon, soon, the gowans o' the spring will gleat aboon my grave, An' soon the angry wintry wind will round my pillow rave : Then will I meet ayont the skies, an' bask aneath the smile O' love an' bliss for evermair, wi' bonnie Mary Lyle.
