X:6352 T:Gloomy Night S:Digital Tradition, glomnite N:Author: Robert Burns N:Footnote: Tune: Roslin Castle (122) O:Scots Z:dt:glomnite M:4/4 L:1/8 Q:2/4=100 W:The gloomy night is gath'ring fast, W:Loud roars the wild inconstant blast; W:Yon murky cloud is filled with rain, W:I see it driving o'er the plain; W:The hunter now has left the moor, W:The scatt'red coveys meet secure; W:While I here wander, prest with care, W:Along the lonely banks of Ayr. W: W:The Autumn mourns her rip'ning corn W:By early Winter's ravage torn; W:Across her placid, azure sky, W:She sees the scowling tempest fly; W:Chill runs my blood to hear it rave; W:I think upon the stormy wave, W:Where many a danger I must dare, W:Far from the bonie banks of Ayr. W: W:'Tis not the surging billows'roar, W:'Tis not that fatal, deadly shore; W:'tho' death in ev'ry shape appear, W:The wretched have no more to fear: W:But round my heart the ties are bound; W:The heart transpierc'd with many a wound; W:These bleed afresh, those ties I tear, W:To leave the bonie banks of Ayr. W: W:Farewell, old Coilia's hills and dales, W:Her heathy moors and winding vales; W:The scenes where wretched Fancy roves, W:Pursuing past unhappy loves! W:Farewell my friends! farewell my foes! W:My peace with these, my love with those- W:The bursting tears my heart declare, W:Farewell, the bonie banks of Ayr!
