  Lament Of Mary, Queen Of Scots, On The Approach Of Spring

  Now Nature hangs her mantle green

  On every blooming tree,

  And spreads her sheets o' daisies white

  Out o'er the grassy lea;

  Now Phoebus cheers the crystal streams,

  And glads the azure skies;

  But nought can glad the weary wight

  That fast in durance lies.

  Now laverocks wake the merry morn

  Aloft on dewy wing;

  The merle, in his noontide bow'r,

  Makes woodland echoes ring;

  The mavis wild wi' mony a note,

  Sings drowsy day to rest:

  In love and freedom they rejoice,

  Wi' care nor thrall opprest.

  Now blooms the lily by the bank,

  The primrose down the brae;

  The hawthorn's budding in the glen,

  And milk-white is the slae:

  The meanest hind in fair Scotland

  May rove their sweets amang;

  But I, the Queen of a' Scotland,

  Maun lie in prison strang.

  I was the Queen o' bonie France,

  Where happy I hae been;

  Fu' lightly raise I in the morn,

  As blythe lay down at e'en:

  And I'm the sov'reign of Scotland,

  And mony a traitor there;

  Yet here I lie in foreign bands,

  And never-ending care.

  But as for thee, thou false woman,

  My sister and my fae,

  Grim Vengeance yet shall whet a sword

  That thro' thy soul shall gae;

  The weeping blood in woman's breast

  Was never known to thee;

  Nor th' balm that draps on wounds of woe

  Frae woman's pitying e'e.

  My son! my son! may kinder stars

  Upon thy fortune shine;

  And may those pleasures gild thy reign,

  That ne'er wad blink on mine!

  God keep thee frae thy mother's faes,

  Or turn their hearts to thee:

  And where thou meet'st thy mother's friend,

  Remember him for me!

  O! soon, to me, may Summer suns

  Nae mair light up the morn!

  Nae mair to me the Autumn winds

  Wave o'er the yellow corn?

  And, in the narrow house of death,

  Let Winter round me rave;

  And the next flow'rs that deck the Spring,

  Bloom on my peaceful grave! Poems and Songs of Robert Burns
