Note 33 — VI YOUNG GERMANY (continued 4)

Mary Morison translation

Oh, Joy, she is a lichtsome hizzy, She winna bide wi' ye ava'; She strokes your broo an' maks ye dizzy Wi' ae fond kiss, then flits awa'. Dame Sorrow is a canty kimmer, A fond embrace ye'll hae frae her; She vows she's naewise thrang, the limmer, Knits by your bed an' winna stir. (W. A.)
