| CXXXII. A Farewell |
| |
| GO fetch to me a pint o' wine, | |
| An' fill it in a silver tassie; | |
| That I may drink before I go | |
| A service to my bonnie lassie. | |
| The boat rocks at the pier o' Leith, | 5 |
| Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry, | |
| The ship rides by the Berwick-law, | |
| And I maun leave my bonnie Mary. | |
| |
| The trumpets sound, the banners fly, | |
| The glittering spears are rankèd ready; | 10 |
| The shouts o' war are heard afar, | |
| The battle closes thick and bloody; | |
| But it's not the roar o' sea or shore | |
| Wad mak me langer wish to tarry; | |
| Nor shouts o' war that's heard afar— | 15 |
| It's leaving thee, my bonnie Mary. | |
