Air" Aud Lang Syne."
Should auld acquaintance be forget,
/ ~ And never brought TO mind,
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And dayso' lang syne2
The days O. lang syne my friends,
The days o lang syne,
We'lltake cupo' kindness yet,
For aud lang syne.
Our fathers that nave gone oeluIe,
They lefl our country free,
A servile yoke indignant broke,
Oftyrants Ger the sea:-
And shall their sons in evil hour,
Forget their toll and palms,
And Weld themselves the slaves OF pon'r
And rvet fast their chainsa
| If par.ys mad dominion lead,
vainly we freedom boast,
Our country's veal no more we feel,
Our safest anchors lost.
Then spurn ignoble chains my friends,
Our country be our care,
| Wen honor those who honor her,
| And all for freedom dare.
Let those who sink swim" forget,
| Nor other glory mind;
Our country will remember yet
And days O. auld lang syne.
/ The days o lang syne my friends,
The days O lang syne;
Well take a cup O kindness yet,
For auli lang syne.
