Came first a slender female form, Pale as the moon in Winter storm ; A babe of sweet simplicity Clung to her breast as pale as she, And ay she sung its lullaby.
That cradle-song of the phantom's child, O ! but it was soothing, holy, and wild !
But, O ! that song can ill be sung.
By Lowland bard^ or Lowland tongue.

Hush, my bonnj babe ! hush, and be stili !
Thj mother's arms shall shield thee from ill.
Far have I borne
...thee, in sorrow and pain.
To drink the breeze of the world agaitt.
The dew shall moisten thy brow so meek, And the breeze of midnight fan thy cheek.
And soon shall we rest in the bow of the hill ; Hush, my bonny babe ! hush, and be still !
For thee have I travailed, in weakneis^ and woe^ The world above and the world, below.
My heart was soft, and it fell in the snare ; Thy father was cruel, but thou w^rt fair.
I sinned, I sorrowed, I died for thee ; Smile, my bonny babe ! smile oti nie !
See yon thick clouds of hiurky hue ; Yon star that peeps from its wi^ow Miie ; Above yon clouds, tiiat wander far, Away, above yon Kttle star.
