On Yarrow ' s fairest lea , Where ilka breeze in whisp e ring sigh , Breathed love wi * you and me , Lang syne . O let me see that sunny knowe ,
We aft hae trod in youth , Where 'neath the fragrant haw-tree bough We pledged our love and truth ; When every tree was clad in green , And birds o' varied hue , Sweet smiles in every flower were seen ,
