The Yung Highland Rver
the young highland rover tune—“m.” loud blaw the frosty breezes, the snaws the mountains cover; like winter on me seizes, since my young highland rover far wanders nations over. where'er he go, where'er he stray, may heaven be his warden; return him safe to fair strathspey, and bonie castle-gordon! the trees, now naked groaning, shall soon wi' leaves be hinging, the birdies dowie moaning, shall a' be blythely singing, and every flower be springing; sae i'll rejoice the lee-lang day, when by his mighty warden my youth's return'd to fair strathspey, and bonie castle-gordon.
