Musical garland/Roslin castle

Roslin Castle.

‘Twas in the season of the year,
When all things gay and sweet appear;
⟨That⟩ Collin, with the morning ray,
⟨Arose⟩ and sung his rural lay;
⟨Of⟩ Nanny's charms the shepherd sung,
⟨While⟩ Roslin Castle heard the swain,
⟨And⟩ echo'd back the chearful strain.

Awake sweet muse the breathing spring,
⟨With⟩ raptures warm, awake and sing,
⟨Awake⟩ and join the vocal throng,
⟨And⟩ hail the morning with a song;
⟨To⟩ Nanny raise the cheerful lay,
⟨O⟩ bid her haste and come away;
⟨In⟩ sweetest smiles herself adorn,
⟨And⟩ add new graces to the morn.

O hark, my love, on ev'ry spray;
Each feather'd warbler tunes lay;
’Tis beauty fires the ravish'd throng,
And love inspires the melting song,
Then let my ravished notes arise,
For beauty darts from Nanny's eyes,
And love my rising bosom warms,
And fills my soul with sweet alarms.

O come, my love, thy Colin's lay,
With raptures call, O come away,
Come, while the muse this wreathe shall twine,
Around that modest brow of thine.
O hither haste and with thee bring,
That beauty blooming like the spring,
Those graces that divinely shine,
And charm this ravished heart of mine.
