The British Camp and Annie Laurie
We give below the words 0f"Annie Laurie,
now the most popular ballad in the British
Camp. 1t was sung by the Second Battalion
OF the Rifle Brigade, the night prior to the at.
tack on the Great Redan.' A correspondent
who was present on the occasion, writes:
Hundreds ofyoices, in the most exact time
and harmony, sang together--
sand for bonnie Annie Laurie,
I'd lay me down and deep
The effect was extraordinary, at least 7 felt
1t so. lneVer heard any chorus in an oratorio
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 time, on the eve ola great battle, a sol.
der thinks only 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
Gle'd me her promise true;
Gle'd me her promise true,
Which ne'er forgot will be;
And Tor bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doune and dee.
Her brow is like the snow drift
Her throat is like the swan
Her face it is the fairest
That e'e, the sun shone ON; =
That ee the sun shone on,
And dark blue is her e'e;
Aud for bonne Annie Laurie
Id lay me doune and dee.
Like dew on The gowan lying
Is the fa' o. nv feet;
And like Wif elnmer sighing.
Her Voice is I0 weet,
Her Voice Is low 3nd Sweet,
And she's a the world to me;
And Eor bonie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doune and dee.
