W:2.Yet oh! gin heav'n in mercy soon
W:    Would grant the boon I crave,
W:  And tak this life, now naething worth,
W:    Sin' Jamie's in his grave.
W:  And see, his gentle spirit comes

W:  Surpris'd, nae doubt, I still am here,
W:    Sair wond'ring at my stay.

W:    Ye canna lead to ill.

W:    Her faded cheek possest;
W:  Her waefu' heart forgot to beat.
W:    Her sorrows sunk to rest.
