Address to the Woodlark Lyrics by Jean Redpath

The Songs of Robert Burns, Volume 3 & 4

0

O stay, sweet warbling woodlark, stay
Nor quit for me the trembling spray
A hapless lover courts thy lay
Thy soothing, fond complaining
Again, again that tender part
That I may catch thy melting art;
For surely that wad touch her heart
Wha kills me wi' disdaining
Say, was thy little mate unkind
And heard thee as the careless wind?
Oh, nocht but love and sorrow join'd
Sic notes o' woe could wauken!
Thou tells o' never-ending care;
O'speechless grief, and dark despair:
For pity's sake, sweet bird, nae mair!
Or my poor heart is broken
Credits
