Nations have vanished and ages rolled Since ye blossomed in Eden''s bowers of old; And yet in your hearts ye are pure as then. But alas! and alas! for the hearts of men. The same great Toiler has made us both, And ye are true to your ancient troth--True as when first on the earth ye came To tell of His wisdom and preach His name. But man, proud man, with the God-like brow, How black at his purest beside ye now.

And think it the rarest of sport, But there''s never a lass to my thinking Like Bessie that lives in our court. Oh, I know that she is not a beauty, As far as the face may go, And I know that she is not so handsome As many that you might show.
