For fear mi heart ud braik.

Aw long'd to claim her for, &c.,

Another bolder nor misen,

Has robb'd me o' mi dear,

An' nah aw ne'er may share her joy

An' ne'er may dry her tear;

But though aw'm heartsick, lone, an' sad,

An' though hope's star is set,

To know she's lov'd as aw'd ha' lov'd

Wod mak me happy yet.
