Fareweel, my house an' burnie clear, My bourtree bush an' bowzy tree! The wee while I maun sojourn here, I'll never find a hame like thee.

GOOD NIGHT, AND JOY.

THIS song was written for, and published as the concluding song of, Smith's Scottish Minstrel; a work, the music of which is singular for its sweetness and true Scottish simplicity. The song, with a little variation, forms an appropriate conclusion to these simple lyrical effusions.

THE year is wearing to the wane,

An' day is fading west awa',

Loud raves the torrent an' the rain,

And dark the cloud comes down the shaw;

But let the tempest tout an' blaw

Upon his loudest winter horn,
Good night, an' joy be wi' you a',
We'll maybe meet again the morn!

O, we hae wander'd far and wide
O'er Scotia's hills, o'er firth an' fell,
An' mony a simple flower we've cull'd,

An' trimm'd them wi' the heather-bell!

We've ranged the dingle an' the dell,
The hamlet an' the baron's ha',
Now let us take a kind farewell,-
Good night, an' joy be wi' you a' !

Though I was wayward, you were kind,
And sorrow'd when I went astray;
For O, my strains were often wild
As winds upon a winter day.

If e'er I led you from the way,
Forgie your Minstrel aince for a';

A tear fa's wi' his parting lay,-
Good night, and joy be wi' you a' !

THE END.
