thou gloomy december
ance mair i hail thee, thou gloomy december!
ance mair i hail thee wi' sorrow and care;
sad was the parting thou makes me remember—
parting wi' nancy, oh, o meet mair!
fond lovers' parting is sweet, painful pleasure,
hope beaming mild on the soft parting hour;
but the dire feeling, o farewell for ever!
is anguish unmingled, and agony pure!
wild as the winter now tearing the forest,
till the last leaf o' the summer is flown;
such is the tempest has shaken my bosom,
till my last hope and last fort is gone.
still as i hail thee, thou gloomy december,
still shall i hail thee wi' sorrow and care;
for sad was the parting thou makes me remember,
parting wi' nancy, oh, o meet mair.
ance mair i hail thee, thou gloomy december!
ance mair i hail thee wi' sorrow and care;
sad was the parting thou makes me remember—
parting wi' nancy, oh, o meet mair!
fond lovers' parting is sweet, painful pleasure,
hope beaming mild on the soft parting hour;
but the dire feeling, o farewell for ever!
is anguish unmingled, and agony pure!
wild as the winter now tearing the forest,
till the last leaf o' the summer is flown;
such is the tempest has shaken my bosom,
till my last hope and last fort is gone.
still as i hail thee, thou gloomy december,
still shall i hail thee wi' sorrow and care;
for sad was the parting thou makes me remember,
parting wi' nancy, oh, o meet mair.
