Craigieburn Wood lyrics

CRAIGIEBURN WOOD
(Robert Burns)
Sweet closes the ev'ning on
Craigieburn Wood
  And blythely awaukens the morrow;
But the pride o'
the spring on the Craigieburn Wood
   Can yield me naught but sorrow.
cho: Beyond thee, dearie, beyond thee, dearie,
       And O, to be lying
beyond thee!
     O, sweetly, soundly, weel may he sleep
       
That's laid in the bed beyond thee!
I see the spreading leaves and
flowers,
   I hear the wild birds singing;
But pleasure they hae nane
for me,
   While care my heart is wringing.
I can na tell, I maun na
tell,
   I daur na for your anger;
But secret love will brak my
heart,
   If I conceal it langer.
I see thee gracefu, straight, and
tall,
   I see thee sweet and bonie;
But O, what will my torment
be,
   If thou refuse thy Johnie!
To see thee in another's arms

  In love to lie and languish,
'Twad be my dead, that will be seen-
 
My heart wad burst wi anguish!
But, Jeanie, say thou wilt be mine,
  
Say thou lo'es nane before me,
And a' my days o' life to come
   I'll
gratefully adore thee.
Tune:     Craigieburn Wood (340)
