Come ane an a th'gither An' lets be glad an' gay, The bloom is on the clover An' lichtsome Hes the way, We reek dot wind nor weather On this auspicious day. It's maybe mony years freens Since ye hae left the toon An' ' time's brocht m u c k l e changes Wi' mony an up an' doon There's nae place like ane's birthplace Though far ye wander roan. The swallow loves the hame stretch, Sae tae the dear auld nest Ye come wi' 'eager footsteps Frac North, South, East an' West, Tae greet some weel-kenned faces For bane is aye the best. We welcome ye richt gladly Wi' kindly cordial grace Yen presence, like the sunshine, Irradiates the place, An' sweet is the reunion Though for a little space. New freens are blithe an' bonnie They bring us joy untold, But memory casts a halo Aroun' the days of old; Each simple scene is sacred. Aboot the dear home fold. The burn whaur we hae paddled The places whaur we'd play, The echule whaur we were lickit' An' led in wisdom's way; The faithful hands that fash- ioned Us for the future fray. Rich !blessings rest upon ye, God's blessings from on high, When—!this re -union ended We meet to say goodbye We part, but not forever, A trysting time draws nigh. —H.
