OliX&ItfAL POETBT, OBAN. By Johs G. Smii-h. Air— The Birks of Aberfeldy* Bonnie la9sio, gang wi' me, A' the sweets o' life to prie, An' hand in hand we'll climb wi' glee. The heathy hills of Oban. There wimplin' burnies sweetly play O'er rocky linn an' flowery brae, An' sing the lee lang simmer day, The charms o' lovely Oban. 3)unolly's auld time-battered keep Stands frowning o'er the rocky steep, An' guards the isle-bespangled deep, That laves the shores of Oban. The sun in gowden cloudlets drest, Sinks slowly to his e'enin' rest, An' blinks out o'er the mountain's orest " Gude nicht" to bonnie Oban. When Winter wi' his snawy pow Glowers grim an' gurly o'er the knowe, Bis chitterin' limbs aye get a thowe, When e'er he comes to Oban. When Spring bedecked wi' mantle green Spreads a' her beauties o'er the scene, :Sh» crowns wi' wreaths o' flow'rets green, B The queenly brow of Oban. "When Simmer cleids wi' sunny smiles, The hills and glens an' glistenin' isles, ' She sheds her maist bewitchin' wiles | An' darts on bonnie Oban. "When Autumn's hand faulds up the year, An' pu's the leaves a' brown an' sere, She saftly sighs an' draps a tear, To reive the gems frae Oban, sunny lands ayont the sea May cast their glamour in Our e'e, But nane can charm the heart like thee, The hame o' love, sweet Oban. Then bonnie lassie gang wi' me, An a' the sweets o' life yell rrie, An' hand in hand we'll wander free, An' cull the flowers of Oban. For Sale. pO E SALE, CHEAP, EXPRESS WAGGON, IN GOOD ORDER.
