THE BRITISH CAMP AND ANNIE LAU-
RE.

We give below the words of" Annie Laurie
now a most popular ballad in the British camp.
1t was sung by the second battalion of the rifle
brigade the night prior to the attack on the
Great Redan. A correspondent, who was
present on the occasion, writes
Hundreds of voices, in the most exact time
and harmony, sang together
"And for bonnie Annie Laurie,
I'd lay me doune and dec
The effect was extraordinary; at least felt
it so. never heard any chorus in an oratprio
rendered with greater solemnity. The heart of
each singer was evidently far over the sea. 1t
was more like psalm than ballad; for at
such a time, on the eve of q great battle, a
soldier only thinks of his love and his God. -
Annie Laurie.
Maxwelton braes are bonnie,
Where early fa's the dew,
And it's there that Annie Laurie
Gie'd me her promise true;
Gie'd me her promise true,
Which ne'er forgot will be;
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'D lay me doune and dee.
Her brow is like the shaw drin--
Her throat is like the swan
Her face it is the fairest
That e'er the sun shone on
That e'er the sun shone on,
And dark blue is her ee;
And for Bonnie Annie Laurie
I'D lay me doune and dee.
Like dew on the gowan lying
Is the fa's her fairy feet
And like the winds in summer signing
Her voice is low and sweet,
Her voice is low and sweet,
And she's n the world TO me-
And for my bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doune and dee.
