Unknown - Altered lyrics

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)
