There Was a Sang

There was a sang
That aye I wad be singin’;
There was a star,
An’ clear it used tae shine;
An’ liltin’ in the starlight
Thro’ the shadows
I gaed lang syne

There was a sang;
But noo, I canna mind it,
There was a star;
But noo, it disna shine.
There was a luve that led me
Thro’ the shadows –
And it was mine.
