Braving Angr Winters Strs
braving angry winter's storms
tune—“neil gow's lament for abery.”
where, braving angry winter's storms,
the lofty ochils rise,
far in their shade my peggy's charms
first blest my w eyes;
as one who by some savage stream
a lonely gem surveys,
astonish'd, doubly marks it beam
with art's most polish'd blaze.
blest be the wild, sequester'd shade,
and blest the day and hour,
where peggy's charms i first survey'd,
when first i felt their pow'r!
the tyrah, with grim trol,
may seize my fleeting breath;
but tearing peggy from my soul
must be a stronger death.
