THE YOUNG HIGHLAND ROVER (Robert Burns)
Loud blow the frosty breezes, The snows the mountain cover, Like winter on me siezes. Since My young Highland Rover Far wanders nations over; Where e'r he goes, where e'r he strays May heaven be his warden Return him safe to fair Strathspey And Bonny Castle Gordon -- -- The trees now naked growning Shall soon with leaves be Hinging The birdies dowie moaning Shall all be blithely singing And ev'ry flower be springing So I'll rejoice the lee-lang day When by his mighty warden My youth's returned to fair Strathspey And bonny Castle Gordon
