Her other Children him did love:
For, was she here, or was she there,
She thought of him with constant care,
And more than Mother's love.

In crimson stockings, tartan plaid,
And bonnet with a feather gay,
To Kirk he on the sabbath day
Went hand in hand with her.
In crimson stockings, tartan plaid,
And bonnet with a feather gay,
To Kirk he on the sabbath day
Went hand in hand with her.

But one to play with and to feed;
Which would have led him, if bereft
Of company or friends, and left
Without a better guide.
But one to play with and to feed;
Which would have led him, if bereft
Of company or friends, and left
Without a better guide.
