MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 1872.
On the Death of "Margaret Tait" 1847
The Sunbeams gild the woody height
And through the waving branches play.
Unwished for dream night retires
I joyless view returning day.
I wander here alone forlorn
And care nae what may next befa'.
Tears trickling down to mix wi "Thine"
Lamenting Her that's taen awa.
In vain for one the [illegible] blooms
And sweetly blossoms every tree
Pale Death has cast his shadow o'er
My Friend, my Sister, where is she?
Ye warblers cease your plaintive strains
Ye green leaves aff your branches fa'.
Come dreamy nature mourn wi' me
Death's left your fairest flower awa.
See down her "Lover's" manly cheeks,
The tears of woe are gushing fast.
The future seems a dreary Blank
He daurna view the blissful pact.
Oh haste, oh haste, ye wintry winds
And clothe the Plains in sleety snow
Oh spring nae mair return again
Ye [illegible] nae her that's taen awa.
