W:2.Awake, sweet Muse! the breathing spring
W:  With rapture warms, awake and sing!
W:  Awake and join the vocal throng,
W:  Who hail the morning with a song:
W:  To Nanny raise the chearful lay;
W:  O! bid her haste and come away;
W:  In sweetest smiles herself adorn,
W:  And add new graces to the morn!
W:
W:3.O hark, my love! on ev'ry spray,
W:  Each feather'd warbler tunes his lay;
W:  'Tis beauty fires the ravish'd throng,
W:  And love inspires the melting song:
W:  Then let my raptur'd notes arise,
W:  For beauty darts from Nanny's eyes,
W:  And love my rising bosom warms,
W:  And fills my soul with sweet alarms.
W:
W:4.O come, my love! thy Colin's lay
W:  With rapture calls, O come away!
W:  Come, while the Muse this wreath shall twine
W:  Around that modest brow of thine.
W:  O! hither haste, and with thee bring
W:  That beauty blooming like the spring,
W:  Those graces that divinely shine,
W:  And charm this ravish'd breast of mine!

W:1.From Roslin Castle's echoing walls
W:  Resound my shepherd's ardent calls;
W:  My Colin bids me come away,
W:  And love demands I should obey.
W:  His melting strain, and tuneful lay,
W:  So much the charms of love display,
W:  I yield--nor longer can refrain
W:  To own my love, and bless my swain.
W:
W:2.No longer can my heart conceal
W:  The painful-pleasing flame I feel;
W:  My soul retorts the am'rous strain,
W:  And echoes back in love again.
W:  Where lurks my songster? from what grove
W:  Does Colin pour his notes of love?
W:  O bring me to the happy bower,
W:  Where mutual love my bliss secure!
W:
W:3.Ye vocal hills, that catch the song,
W:  Repeating as it flies along,
W:  To Colin's ears my strain convey.
W:  And say, I haste to come away.

W:  Ye zephers soft, that fan the gale,
W:  Waft to my love the soothing tale;
W:  In whispers all my soul express,
W:  And tell I haste his arms to bless.
