An' then she made the lasses, O.

AGAIN REJOICING NATURE SEES.

AIR.-JOHNNY'S GREY BREEKS.

Again rejoicing nature sees

Her robe assume its vernal hues, Her leafy locks wave in the breeze

All freshly steep'd in morning dews.

And maun I still on Menie ť doat,

And bear the scorn that's in her e'e ! For it's jet, jet black, an' it's like a hawk,

An' it winna let a body be !
