The Domine' then road the following
ballad composed on the heathen received by
Mr. Broadfoot from the braes ()':boon.
"Auld Sandy stands on Bayfield's banks,
A hearty hale 'auld carte is he,
And all around, he looks wi' pride ;
Elsa acres braid are fair tae see.
Ilis acres braid are fair tae see,
e proudly ca's them a' his sin,
Where ance grew nocht but forest trees,
Are bonny fields o' -waving grain.
He ante was Fiji as puir could be,.
His only wealth, --his brawny arms
An honest heart and industry,
A thrifty wife and bonny hatrn3.
Wi, brawny arms he felled the trees. — -
Wi, industry the filled the barn,
His thrifty wife, wi' hame-made Claes, i -
,ii; ept' a the bairnies sr s l and warm
Weel may he look around wi' pride,
fie manfully has earn'd it a'
His fruitfu' clearings, long and wide,
His weel stocked farm and plenislied ha.'
But whiles a shade sita on his broo,
And whiles he heaves a heavy sigh,
When thinking on the days o' yore,
His you thful days, that's lang gane by, -
' No, whit can ail my husband dear,
My sin guidman, come tell tae me,
Why heave that sigh ? And drap that tear.
Why dwells the sorrow in your ee ?
For we hae routh o' warI's gear,
And- bairns's bairns sit on your knee,
Then what can ail my husband dear,
My sin ,guidman, come ell tae me."
" My dear guidwife, I'growing auld,
My years are noo three score and ten,
And I•would like, before 1. die, _-
Tae wander coon the banks o' Ken.
Anc1 pu' a posy on the Fleet,
:And tread the bills o' crystal Cree,
And see the primrose glens sae sweet,
Upon the bonny hanks o' Dee. •
And, ere the rising u' the sun,
And when the heather' is in. tlooYri,
Tae pu' a sprig, and fetch it here,
0' heather, fraes 'the braes o' Doon .
Fu' wed I ken this canna,' be,
But I will send a letter soon
rae'ane, that ante was dear tae me,
And dwells upon the braes o' Doon.
And be will pu,' a sprig o' heath,
The blooming heather fair tae see,
And send it here, across the seas,
Tae glad ince main, an auld- man's ea."
His friend stand on the braes o' Ayr,
And noo the heather is -in bloom,
And near him stands his- daughter .fair.
The bonniest maid upon the Doon. -
"Came here taeme, my daughter dear,
My daughter dear. - come here tae me,
For I have got a kind letter,
Frae Sandy Braidfoot o'er the sea.
Noo. Sandy was my comrade dear,
In happy days that's lang gene by,
And roamed among the heather here,
Tube* we were Gallants, herdin' kyr
And like mysel, he's growin auld,
And's in a foreign country
And thinks upon his youthful, days,
And fain the heather `va'd he see."
The maiden fair, like montainap rite,
alas gane where heather is in bloom,
And pti'd beneath the fair moonlight, .
Same heather, frae the braes o' Doon.
And shehasknelt upon the moor,
And raised her een right piously,
And pray'd for blessings on the heath.
And her father's friend, ayon t the sea.
And she has wrapp'd it roon' wi care.
And sent it tae this country.
Noo Sandy's heart will sigh nae -main,
And gladnessbeams within hls ee.
And he has put, within a frame,:
The bonny heatheryin the bloom,
And shows tae a,' via' Scottish pride, -
The heather, frae. the braes o' Doon,
And when he's at his latest breath,
Afore his spirit gangs aboon,
He'll tak'. ae lingeein fareweel look,
At heather frae the braes o' ' Doon.
