SONGS

AND

BALLAD S.

PEGGY.

Tune-" I had a Horse, I had nae mair."

I.

Now westlin winds and slaught'ring guns
Bring autumn's pleasant weather;
The moorcock springs, on whirring wings,
Amang the blooming heather:

Now waving grain, wide o'er the plain,

Delights the weary farmer;

And the moon shines bright, when I rove at night To muse upon my charmer.
