How Long And Dreary Is The Night

     How long and dreary is the night,
     When I am frae my dearie!
     I sleepless lie frae e'en to morn,
     Tho' I were ne'er so weary:
     I sleepless lie frae e'en to morn,
     Tho' I were ne'er sae weary!

     When I think on the happy days
     I spent wi' you my dearie:
     And now what lands between us lie,
     How can I be but eerie!
     And now what lands between us lie,
     How can I be but eerie!

     How slow ye move, ye heavy hours,
     As ye were wae and weary!
     It wasna sae ye glinted by,
     When I was wi' my dearie!
     It wasna sae ye glinted by,
     When I was wi' my dearie!
