YONDER SUNNY BRAE.Onyonder sunny brae we met,Amid the summer flowers;And never can my heart forgetThe rapture of those hours,When she I loved forsook her homeAnd there with me did stray,Oh! oft delighted did we roamOn yonder sunny brae.The gushing of the waterfall,The sunshine of the sky,The bloom, the balm, and, more than all,The sparkle of her eye,Brought to my heart a blissful tideThat drove all care away,And I was happy at her side,On yonder sunny brae.'Twas there I breathed my fondest vow,Nor told my love in vain;And I am happy with her now,Though years have passed since then.No sweeter scene my eyes shall seeThough far my steps should stray:There's not a spot so dear to meAs yonder sunny brae.
