But Lately Seen.
By Robert Burns
Tune - "The winter of life." I. But lately seen in gladsome green, The woods rejoiced the day; Thro' gentle showers and laughing flowers, In double pride were gay: But now our joys are fled On winter blasts awa! Yet maiden May, in rich array, Again shall bring them a'. II. But my white pow, nae kindly thowe Shall melt the snaws of age; My trunk of eild, but buss or bield, Sinks in Time's wintry rage. Oh! age has weary days, And nights o' sleepless pain! Thou golden time o' youthfu' prime, Why comes thou not again?
