 ( 6 ) Her looks were like a flower in May,

her smile was like a summer morn;

She tripped by the banks of Ern,

as light's a bird upon a thorn.

AULD LANGSYNE.

S auld acquaintance be forgot,

an’ never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

an’ days o’ langsyne?

For auld langsyne, my dear;

For auld langsyne;

We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,

forauld langsyne.

We twa hae run about the braes,

an’ pu’d the gowans fine;

But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,

sin’ auld langsyne.

For auld langsyne, &c.

We twa hae paidelt in the burn,

whan simmer days were prime,

But seas between us braid hae roar’d,

sin’ auld langsyne.

For auld langsyne, &c.
