 My Kimmer is auld, my Kimmer is bent,

And I’m gaun louting owre a kent;

The well o' life is dribbling dry,

And drouthie, drouthie’s Kimmer and I.

HOPE TOLD A FLATTERING TALE.

told a flattering tale,

That joy would soon return;

Ah! nought my sighs avail,

For love is doom’d to mourn.

Ah! where’s the flatt’rer gone?

From me from ever flown;

The happy dream of love is o’er,

Life, alas ! can charm no more.

FINIS.
