song—farewell to ballochmyle
tune—“miss forbe's farewell to banff.”
the catrine woods were yellow seen,
the flowers decay'd on catrine lee,
nae lav'rock sang on hillock green,
but nature sicken'd on the e'e.
thro' faded groves maria sang,
hersel' in beauty's bloom the while;
and aye the wild-wood ehoes rang,
