Her heathy moors and winding vales;

The scenes where wretched fancy roves,

Pursuing past unhappy loves!

Farewell, my friends! Farewell, my foes!

My peace with these, my love with those;

The bursting tears my heart declare,

Farewell, my bonnie banks of Ayr!

ON A SCOTCH BARD, GONE TO THE WEST INDIES

A' ye wha live by sowps o' drink, sups

A' ye wha live by crambo-clink, rhyme
