# Lucy's Flittin' (1819)/There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame

NEVER BE PEACE TILL JAMIE COMES.
By you castle wa', at the close of the day, I heard a man sing, though his head it was grey; And as he was singing the tears fast down came, There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. The church is in ruins, the state is in jars, Delusions, oppressions, and murderous wars; We dare na weel say't, but we ken wha's to blame— There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.
My seven braw sons for Jannie drew sword, And now I greet round their green beds in the yird, It brak the sweet heart o' my faithfu' auld dame, There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. Now life is a burden thaf bows me sair down. Since I tint my bairns, and he tint his crown; But till my last moments my words are the same There'll never be yeace till Jamie comes hame.

LUCY'S FLITTIN'.
Tune—Paddy O'Rafferty.
Twas when the wan leaf frae the birk tree was fa'in, And Martinmas dowie had wound up the year, That Lucy row'd up her wee kist wi' her a' in't, And left her auld master, and neibours sae dear For Lucy had served in the glen a' the simmer, She cam there afore the flower bloomed on the pea: An orphan was she, an' they had been gude till her, Sure that was the thing brought the tear in her ee.
She gaed by the stable where Jamie was stannin' Right sair was his kind heart the flittin' to see Fare ye weel, Lucy, quo Jamie; and ran in— The gatherin tears trickled fast frae her ee. As down the burn-side she gaed slow wi' her flittin', Fare ye weel, Lucy, was ilka bird's sang; She heard the craw sayin't high on the tree sittin And Robin was chirpin't the brown leaves mang.
​O what is't that pits my poor heart in a flutter! And what gars the tear come sae fast to my ee! If I was na ettled to be onie better, Thea what gars me wish onie better to be! I'm just like a lammie that loses its mither; Nor mither nor friend the poor lammie can see; I fear I kae left my bit heart a' thegither, Nae wonder the tear fa's sae fast frae my ee.
Wi' the rest o' my claes I hae rowd up the ribbon, The bonnie blue ribbon that Jamie gae me: Yestreen when he gae me t, and saw I was sabbin; I'll never forget the wae bink o' his ee. Tho' now, he said naething, but Fare ye weel, Lucy, It made me I neither could speak, hear, nor see; He could na say mair, but just Fare ye weel, Lucy, Yet that I will mind to the day that I die.
The lamb likes the gowan wi' dew when its droukit, The hare likes the brake and the braird on the lee; But Lucy likes Jamie;—she turned—she lookit; She thought the dear place she wad never mair see. Ah weal may young Jamie gang dowie and cheerless! ​And weel may he greet on the bank o' the burn; His bonnie sweet Lucy, sae gentle and peerless, Lies cauld in her grave and will never return.
# Lucy's Flittin' (1819)/The Friend that's awa

THE FRIEND THAT'S AWA.
The winter sat lang on the spring o' the year, Our seed time was late, and our mailin was dear My mither tint heart when she look'd on us a', And we thought upon them that were farest awa. O! were they but here that are farest awa! O! were they but here that are dear to us a'! Our cares wou'd seem light, and our sorrows but sma', If they were but here that are far frae us a'.
Last week, when our hopes were o'erclouded wi' fear, And nae ane at hame the dull prospect to cheer; Our Johnnie has written frae far awa parts, A letter that lightens and hauds up our hearts. He says, "My dear mither, tho' I be awa, In love and affection I'm still wi' ye a'; While I hae a being yese aye hae a ha', Wi' plenty to keep out the frost and the snaw."
My mither o'erjoyed at this change in her state, By the bairn that she ⟨doated⟩ on early and late, ​Gies thanks, night and day, to the Giver OF A', There's been naething unworthy o' him that's awa. Then here is to them that are far frae us a', The friend that ne er failed us, tho' farest awa! ⟨Health⟩, peace, and prosperity wait on us a', ⟨And⟩ a blythe coming-⟨hame⟩ to the friend that's awa!
# Lucy's Flittin' (1819)/'Twas ae day in Autumn

N A N C Y.
Tune—Humours of Glen.
Twas ae day in ⟨autumn⟩ and just in the gloamin, As wandering down by the burnie sae clear, O what do ye think I should meet in my roamin But Nancy, sweet Nancy, my ain only dear. The leaves o' the trees were thick fa in around us, And a' things look'd duwie, but Nancy's fair face, An' blushin,'she looked as the new-risen moon does, When first she peeps out of the watery space!
I gazed on her charms a' sae sweet an invitin', And cried, O ye powers, who govern above! Sure woman was made for man to delight in, And cauld is tha' breast ne'er enlivened by love. ​For what can compare wi' the thrilling emotion The saft preturbation that swells i' the breast The sigh that is breath'd wi' the utmost devotion, And the soul wi' delight and wi' rapture opprest!
When Nature's asleep, and the loud winds are roarin', Owre mountain and dale, thro' valley an' tree, The charms o my Nancy I still am adorin', For they are as spring or as summer to me! O fresh on her cheek are the new-⟨blawin⟩ roses, Love throws his fond blinks frae the tail of her ee; And deep in her bosom there peace ay reposes, Wha'd banish it thence! O it ne'er shall be me!
# Lucy's Flittin' (1819)/While Luna in Splendour

MARY-ANN.
Tune—The Wounded Hussar.
While Luna in splendor wi' silver rays beaming Illumed, and in radiance adorn'd the green plain And while sportive meteors aerial were streaming, I hied me alone to yon wild woody glen. Along the sweet margin of Glaizart's rough stream, ​A youth full of anguish his plaint thus began, The tears of affection made plain his connexion, While dolefu' he sung of his love Mary-Ann.
Why, once peerless maid hast thou left me to wander, Mid scenes sae enchanting thus cheerless to mourn, Unto these woods wild, through which rivulets meander, O sweetest of maids, wilt thou never return? Ah no, never mair shall I see thy loved form, In yon blest domain sae mysterious to man, Nae cares thee annoying, thou'rt now peace enjoying, My lov'd, my lamented, my sweet Mary-Ann.
Disconsolate now by those sweet banks o' Glaizart, Wi' my mind envelop'd amid clouds o' ⟨despair⟩, I'll wander remote as if lone in some desert, And amang these wild scenes bewail my loved fair. Now naething O waes me, can soothe this my woe, When this he had breathed out, his visage grew wan, While his eyes wild were beaming, I left him exclaiming Adieu now earth's pleasures farewell Mary-Ann

# The Book of Scottish Song/There'll never be peace

There’ll never be peace.
[This fine Jacobitical song was a contribution of Burns to Johnson's Museum. The original name of the tune is, "There 's few gude fellows when Jamie's awa'," and it appears with that titlo in Oswald's Caledonian Pocket Companion, (1740.) Sometimes it is called, "There 's few gude fellows when Willie's awa'." The words of the old song are supposed to be lost.]
By yon castle-wa', at the close o' the day, I heard a man sing, though his head it was grey; And as he was singing, the tears down came— There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.
The church is in ruins, the state is in jars, Delusions, oppressions, and murderous wars: We daurna weel say't, but we ken wha's to blame,— There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.
My seven braw sons for Jamie drew sword, And now I greet round their green beds in the yird: It brak the sweet heart o' my faithfu' auld dame— There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.
Now life is a burden that bows me down, Since I tint my bairns, and he tint his crown; But till my last moments my words are the same,— There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.

# Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest/Coyote and Sun

COYOTE AND SUN
Pai Ute (near Kern River, Cal.)
A LONG time ago, Coyote wanted to go to the sun. He asked Pokoh, Old Man, to show him the trail. Coyote went straight out on this trail and he travelled it all day. But Sun went round so that Coyote came back at night to the place from which he started in the morning.
The next morning, Coyote asked Pokoh to show him the trail. Pokoh showed him, and Coyote travelled all day and came back at night to the same place again.
But the third day, Coyote started early and went out on the trail to the edge of the world and sat down on the hole where the sun came up. While waiting for the sun he pointed with his bow and arrow at different places and pretended to shoot. He also pretended not to see the sun. When Sun came up, he told Coyote to get out of his way. Coyote told him to go around; that it was his trail. But Sun came up under him and he had to hitch forward a little. After Sun came up a little farther, it began to get hot on Coyote's shoulder, so he spit on his paw and rubbed his shoulder. Then he ​wanted to ride up with the sun. Sun said, "Oh, no"; but Coyote insisted. So Coyote climbed up on Sun, and Sun started up the trail in the sky. The trail was marked off into steps like a ladder. As Sun went up he counted "one, two, three," and so on. By and by Coyote became very thirsty, and he asked Sun for a drink of water. Sun gave him an acorn-cup full. Coyote asked him why he had no more. About noon-time, Coyote became very impatient. It was very hot. Sun told him to shut his eyes. Coyote shut them, but opened them again. He kept opening and shutting them all the afternoon. At night, when Sun came down, Coyote took hold of a tree. Then he clambered off Sun and climbed down to the earth.
# Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest/The Course of the Sun

THE COURSE OF THE SUN
Sia (New Mexico)
SUSSISTANNAKO, the spider, said to the sun,
"My son, you will ascend and pass over the world above. You will go from north to south. Return and tell me what you think of it."
The sun said, on his return, "Mother, I did as you bade me, and I did not like the road."
Spider told him to ascend and pass over the world from west to the east. On his return, the sun said,
"It may be good for some, mother, but I did not like it."
Spider said, "You will again ascend and pass over the straight road from the east to the west. Return and tell me what you think of it."
That night the sun said, "I am much contented. I like that road much."
Sussistinnako said, "My son, you will ascend each day and pass over the world from east to west."
Upon each day's journey the sun stops midway from the east to the centre of the world to eat his breakfast. ​In the centre he stops to eat his dinner. Halfway from the centre to the west he stops to eat his supper. He never fails to eat these three meals each day, and always stops at the same points.
The sun wears a shirt of dressed deerskin, with leggings of the same reaching to his thighs. The shirt and leggings are fringed. His moccasins are also of deerskin and embroidered in yellow, red, and turkis beads. He wears a kilt of deerskin, having a snake painted upon it. He carries a bow and arrows, the quiver being of cougar skin, hanging over his shoulder, and he holds his bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right. He always wears the mask which protects him from the sight of the people of Ha-arts.
At the top of the mask is an eagle plume with parrot plumes; an eagle plume is at each side, and one at the bottom of the mask. The hair around the head and face is red like fire, and when it moves and shakes people cannot look closely at the mask. It is not intended that they should observe closely, else they would know that instead of seeing the sun they see only his mask.
The moon came to the upper world with the sun and he also wears a mask.
Each night the sun passes by the house of Sussistin​nako, the spider, who asks him, "How are my children above? How many have died to-day? How many have been born to-day?" The sun lingers only long enough to answer his questions. Then he passes on to his house in the east.
# Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest/The Foxes and the Sun

THE FOXES AND THE SUN
Yurok (near Klamath River, Cal.)
ONCE upon a time, the Foxes were angry with Sun. They held a council about the matter. Then twelve Foxes were selected—twelve of the bravest to catch Sun and tie him down. They made ropes of sinew; then the twelve watched until the Sun, as he followed the downward trail in the sky, touched the top of a certain hill. Then the Foxes caught Sun, and tied him fast to the hill. But the Indians saw them, and they killed the Foxes with arrows. Then they cut the sinews. But the Sun had burned a great hole in the ground. The Indians know the story is true, because they can see the hole which Sun burned.
# Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest/The Theft of Fire (Karok)

THE THEFT OF FIRE
Karok (near Klamath River, Cal.)
THERE was no fire on earth and the Karoks were cold and miserable. Far away to the east, hidden in a treasure box, was fire which Kareya had made and given to two old hags, lets the Karoks should steal it. So Coyote decided to steal fire for the Indians.
Coyote called a great council of the animals. After the council he stationed a line from the land of the Karoks to the distant land where the fire was kept. Lion was nearest the Fire Land, and Frog was nearest the Karok land. Lion was strongest and Frog was weakest, and the other animals took their places, according to the power given them by Man.
Then Coyote took an Indian with him and went to the hill top, but he hid the Indian under the hill. Coyote went to the tepee of the hags. He said, "Good-evening." They replied, "Good-evening."
Coyote said, "It is cold out here. Can you let me sit by the fire?" So they let him sit by the fire. He was only a coyote. He stretched his nose out along his forepaws and pretended to go to sleep, but he kept ​the corner of one eye open watching. So he spent all night watching and thinking, but he had no chance to get a piece of the fire.
The next morning Coyote held a council with the Indian. He told him when he, Coyote, was within the tepee, to attack it. Then Coyote went back to the fire. The hags let him in again. He was only a coyote. But Coyote stood close by the casket of fire. The Indian made a dash at the tepee. The hags rushed out after him, and Coyote seized a fire brand in his teeth and flew over the ground. The hags saw the sparks flying and gave chase. But Coyote reached Lion, who ran with it to Grizzly Bear. Grizzly Bear ran with it to Cinnamon Bear; he ran with it to Wolf, and at last the fire came to Ground-Squirrel. Squirrel took the brand and ran so fast that his tail caught fire. He curled it up over his back, and burned the black spot in his shoulders. You can see it even to-day. Squirrel came to Frog, but Frog could n't run. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the fire. Then he jumped but the hags caught his tail. Frog jumped again, but the hags kept his tail. That is why Frogs have no tail, even to this day. Frog swam under water, and came up on a pile of driftwood. He spat out the fire into the dry wood, and that is why there is fire in dry wood even to-day. When an Indian rubs two pieces together, the fire comes out.
# Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest/The Theft of Fire (Sia)

THE THEFT OF FIRE
Sia (New Mexico)
A LONG, long time ago, the people became tired of feeding on grass, like deer and wild animals, and they talked together how fire might be found. The Ti-amoni said, "Coyote is the best man to steal fire from the world below," so he sent for Coyote.
When Coyote came, the Ti-amoni said, "The people wish for fire. We are tired of feeding on grass. You must go to the world below and bring the fire."
Coyote said, "It is well, father. I will go."
So Coyote slipped stealthily to the house of Sussistinnako. It was the middle of the night. Snake, who guarded the first door, was asleep, and he slipped quickly and quietly by. Cougar, who guarded the second door, was asleep, and Coyote slipped by. Bear, who guarded the third door, was also sleeping. At the fourth door, Coyote found the guardian of the fire asleep. Slipping through into the room of Sussistinnako he found him also sleeping.
Coyote quickly lighted the cedar brand which was ​attached to his tail and hurried out. Spider awoke, just enough to know some one was leaving the room. "Who is there?" he cried. Then he called, "Some one has been here." But before he could waken the sleeping Bear and Cougar and Snake, Coyote had almost reached the upper world.

# Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest/The Earth-hardening after the Flood

THE EARTH-HARDENING AFTER THE FLOOD
Sia (New Mexico)
AFTER the flood, the Sia returned to Ha-arts, the earth. They came through an opening in the far north. After they had remained at their first village a year, they wished to pass on, but the earth was very moist and Utset was puzzled how to harden it.
Utset called Cougar. She said, "Have you any medicine to harden the road so that we may pass over it?" Cougar replied, "I will try, mother." But after going a short distance over the road, he sank to his shoulders in the wet earth. He returned much afraid and told Utset that he could go no farther.
Then she sent for Bear. She said, "Have you any medicine to harden the road?" Bear started out, but he sank to his shoulders, and returned saying, "I can do nothing."
Then Utset called Badger, and he tried. She called Shrew, and he failed. She called Wolf, and he failed.
Then Utset returned to the lower world and asked ​Sussistinnako what she could do to harden the earth so that her people might travel over it. He asked, "Have you no medicine to make the earth firm? Have you asked Cougar and Wolf, Bear and Badger and Wolf to use their medicines to harden the earth?"
Utset said, "I have tried all these."
Then Sussistinnako said, "Others will understand." He told her to have a woman of the Kapina (spider) clan try to harden the earth.
When the woman arrived, Utset said, "My mother, Sussistinnako tells me the Kapina society understand how to harden the earth."
The woman said, "I do not know how to make the earth hard."
Three times Utset asked the woman about hardening the earth, and three times the woman said, "I do not know." The fourth time the woman said, "Well, I guess I know. I will try."
So she called together the members of the Spider society, the Kapina, and said,
"Our mother, Sussistinnako, bids us work for her and harden the earth so that the people may pass over it." The spider woman first made a road of fine cotton which she produced from her own body, and suspended it a few feet above the earth. Then she told ​the people they could travel on that. But the people were afraid to trust themselves to such a frail road.
Then Utset said, "I wish a man and not a woman of the Spider society to work for me."
Then he came. He threw out a charm of wood, latticed so it could be expanded or contracted. When it was extended it reached to the middle of the earth. He threw it to the south, to the east, and to the west; then he threw it toward the people in the north.
So the earth was made firm that the people might travel upon it.
Soon after Utset said, "I will soon leave you. I will return to the home from which I came."
Then she selected a man of the Corn clan. She said to him, "You will be known as Ti-amoni (arch-ruler). You will be to my people as myself. You will pass with them over the straight road. I give to you all my wisdom, my thoughts, my heart, and all. I fill your mind with my mind."
He replied: "It is well, mother. I will do as you say."
# Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest/The Origins of the Totems and of Names

THE ORIGINS OF THE TOTEMS AND OF NAMES
Zuni (New Mexico)
NOW the Twain Beloved and the priest-fathers gathered in council for the naming and selection of man-groups and creature-kinds, and things. So they called the people of the southern space the Children of Summer, and those who loved the sun most became the Sun people. Others who loved the water became the Toad people, or the Turtle people, or Frog people. Others loved the seeds of the earth and became the Seed people, or the people of the First-growing grass, or of the Tobacco. Those who loved warmth were the Fire or Badger people. According to their natures they chose their totems.
And so also did the People of Winter, or the People of the North. Some were known as the Bear people, or the Coyote people, or Deer people; others as the Crane people, Turkey people, or Grouse people. So the Badger people dwelt in a warm place, even as the badgers on the sunny side of hills burrow, finding a dwelling amongst the dry roots whence is fire.
