O Raging Fortune’s Withering Blast

[Scenery & Songs Contents]

O Raging Fortune’s Withering Blast. 

Words by Burns. 

Air by Tam Linn. 

Arranged by Finlay Dun. 

– 

O raging fortune’s withering blast, 

Has laid my leaf full low! 

O raging fortune’s withering blast, 

Has laid my leaf full low. 

– 

My stem was fair, my bud was green, 

My blossom sweet did blow; 

The dew fell fresh, the sun rose mild, 

And made my braches grow. 

– 

But luckless fortune’s northern storms 

Laid a’ my blossoms low; 

But luckless fortune’s northern storms 

Laid a’ my blossoms low.
