THE WEE PAIR O' SHOON.
(From the • Scotsman.") Oil, lay them cannie doon, Jamie, An' tak' them f rae my sicht — They mind me o' her sweet face, An' sparklin' e'e sac bricht. Oh, lay them safely doon beside The lock o' silken hair, For the darlin' o' thy heart and mine Will never wear them mair! But oh! ye canna hide, Jamie, The voice that lisped yer name; An' the wee bit hands sac aft held oot Wi' joy when ye came hame ! Ye canna tak' awa' the smile That shone like simmer morn; An' the rosy mou' that socht a kiss When ye were weary worn! The eastlin' wind blaws cauld, Jamie — The snaw's on hill an' plain — The flowers that decked my lammie's grave Are faded noo, an' gane ! Oh, dinna speak ! I ken she dwells In yon fair land aboon; But sair's the sicht that blin's my e'e, That wee, wee pair o' shoon!
