ALTERED(
Robert Burns)
How cruel are the Parents Who riches only prize,
And to the wealthy booby Poor Woman sacrifice:
Meanwhile the hapless Daughter Has but a choice of strife;
To shun a tyrant Father's hate, Become a wretched Wife.-
The ravening hawk pursuing, The trembling dove thus flies,
To shun impelling ruin Awhile her pinions tries;
Till of escape despairing, No shelter or retreat,
She trusts the ruthless Falconer And drops beneath his feet.
Tune:
John Anderson My Jo (302)filename
