burns robert – cauld frosty morning lyrics

cauld frosty morning
(robert burns)
’twas past ane o’clock in a cauld frosty morning,
when cankert november blaws over the plain,
i heard the kirk-bell repeat the loud warning,
as, restless, i sought for sweet slumber in vain:
then up i arose, the silver moon shining bright;
mountains and valleys appearing all h–ry white;
forth i would go, amid the pale, s’ient night,
and visit the fair one, the cause of my pain.-
sae gently i staw to my lovely maid’s chamber,
and rapp’d at her window, low down on my knee;
begging that she would awauk from sweet slum’ber,
awauk from sweet slumber and pity me:
for, that a stranger to a’ pleasure, peace and rest,
love into madness ha fired my tortur’d breast;
and that i should be of a’men the maist unblest,
unless she would pity my sad miserie!
my truic-love arose and whispered to me,
(the moon looked in, an envy’d my love’s charms;)
‘an innocent maiden, ah, would you undo me!’
i made no reply, but leapt into her arms:
bright phebus peep’d over the hills and found me there;
as he has done, now, seven lang years and mair:
a faithfuller, constanter, kinder, more loving pair,
his sweet-chearing beam nor enlightens nor warms.
tune: cauld frosty morning (294)
