THE BANKS 0' CLYDE.

BY W. ALEXANDER.
Oh ! would ye wish to flee frae grief or care,
To hearts that are kind, and to scenes that are fair,
Gae don the Scottish plaid,
Seek the glen and mountain side,
Till ye reach the banks o' Clyde, then byde ye there.
But it is na to muse amid woods or braes,
Sleeping lonely and still 'neath the noontide rays,
While a thousand barks career
Over Clutha winding clear;
Oh I 'tis life and joy where'er ye may turn to gaze.
What boots it though sunlight should fade away,
And each bright scene recede wi' the god o' day ;
Though each bay and lovely isle
Frae that landscape steal the while,
Still there's love and friendship's smile when the moonbeams
play.
Now the bowl crowns the hoard, and a chosen few
Are kindling in mirth which deceit ne'er knew ;
Let the courtly slave delight,
Amid joys but formed to blight, •
What are these to ae blythe night mongst the fond and true.
But beware ye forget not that time's but a jest,
When in bumpers ye pledge wi' the " ways of the west,"
Oh I his grief must e'en be deep,
And his " drought be ill to steep,"
wouldna soundly sleep when they " slip to rest."
I hac quaff'd the cup when side by side, •
'Mid wit and wealth, sat England's pride,
Over Scotland, kind as free,
I've been cheered frae sea to sea;
But of a' gie me the glee of the " Banks o' Clyde."
