| I've seen the smiling |
| Of fortune beguiling, |
| I've tasted her pleasures, |
| And felt her decay; |
| Sweet is her blessing, |
| And kind her caressing, |
| But now they are fled |
| And fled far away. |
| I've seen the forest |
| Adorned the foremost, |
| Wi' flowers o' the fairest |
| Baith pleasant and gay, |
| Sae bonnie was their blooming, |
| Their scent the air perfuming, |
| But now they are withered away. |
| I've seen the morning, |
| With gold hills adorning, |
| And loud tempests storming, |
| Before parting day, |
| I've seen Tweed's silver streams, |
| Glitt'ring in the sunny beams, |
| Grow drumlie and dark, |
| As they roll'd on their way; |
| O fickle fortune! |
| Why this cruel sportin? |
| Oh! Why thus perplex |
| Us poor sons of a day? |
| Thy frown canna fear me, |
| Thy smile canna cheer me, |
| Since the flowers o' the forest |
| Are a' wede away. |
