WHen Phoebus bright the Azure Sky, With Golden Rayes enlighteneth; These things Sublunar he espies, Herbs, Trees and Plants, he quick'neth, Among all those he makes his choise, and gladlie goes he thorow, With radiant beams and silver streams through Leader-haughs and Yarow, When Aries the Day and Night, in equal length divideth, Old Frostie Saturn takes the Flight; no longer he abideth, Then Flora Queen with Mantle Green, casts off her deadlie sorrow, And Vows to dwell with Ceres fell, in Leader-haughs and Yarow, Pan playing with his Oaten reed, with Shepherds him attending, Doth him resort their Flocks to feed, the Hills and Haughs commending, With Bottle, Bag and Staff with Knag, and all Singing good morrow, They swear no Field more pleasure yields, than Leader-haughs and Yarow, One House there stands on Leader side, surmounting my descriving, With ease rooms rate, and windows clear, like Dedalas contriving, Men passing by do often say; in South it hath no marrow, It stands as fair on Leader side, as New work does on Yarow, A Mile below who lists to ride, they'l hear the Mavis singing, Into St. Leonard's Banks she'l bide, sweet Birks her head o're hinging, The Lintwithe loud, and Progue Proud. with tender Throats and Narrow; Into St. Leonards Banks do sing, as sweetly as in Yarow, The Lapwing lilteth o're the Lee, with Nimble wings she sporteth, But Vows she'l not come near the Tree, where Philomel resorteth, By break of day the Lark can say, I'le bid you all good morrow, I'le youel and yell for I may Dwel, in Leader-haughs and Yarow, Park Wanton walls and Wodden Clough. the East and Wester Mainses, The Forrest of Lawders fair enough, the Corns are good in Blainslies, Where Oats are fine and Sold by kind, that if you search all thorow, Mearns; Buchen, Mar, none better are, then Leader haughs and Yarow, In Burn Miln Bog and Whit shed shaws the fearful Hare she haunteth, Bridge haugh & Broad wood well she knaws to the Chapel wood frequenteth, Yet when she irks to Kieslie Birks, she runs and sighs for sorrow,
That she should leave sweet Leader-haughs and cannot win to Yarow, What sweeter Musick would you hear, than Hounds and Beigels crying, The Hare waits not but fles for fear, their hard pursuits defying, But yet her strength it fails at length, no beilding can she borrow, At Haggs Clockmas nor Sorlesfield, but longs to be at Yarow; For Rackwood, Ringwood; Rival, Aimer still thinking for to view her, O're Dubb and Dyke In Leader hough, she's run the fields all thorow, Yet ends her days in Leader-haugh, and bids fairwell to Yarow, Then Eastlingtoun and Colding Knows, where Homes had once commanding, And Drygrange with the milk with Ewes, twixt Tweed and Yarow standing, The Birds that flees through Red Path trees and Gladswood banks all thorow, May chant and sing sweet Leader-haughs, and the bonnie banks of Yarow, But Burn cannot his Grief asswage: while that his Days endureth, To see the changes of this Age, which day and time procureth, For many a place stands in hard case, where Burns was blyth besorrow; With Homes that dwel on Leader side and Soots that dwelt in Yarow. The Words of Burn the Violer. What shall my Viol silent be, or leave her wonted scriding, But choise some sadder Elogie, no sports and minds deriding It must be fain with lower strain. then it was wont beforrow, To sound the praise of Leader-haughs, and the bonny banks of Yarow, But Floods have overflown the banks, the greenish haughs disgracing, And Trees in wood grow thin in Ranks, about the Fields defaceing, For Waters waxes, wood doth waind, more if I could for sorrow, In rural Verse I could Rehearse, of Leader-haugh and Yarow. But sighs and Sobs o'rsets my breath, sore saltish Tears forth sending, All things Sublunar here on Earth, are subject to an ending, So must my Song though somewhat long, yet late at Even and Morrow, I'le sigh and sing sweet Leader haughs, and the bonny banks of Yarow.
