Adieu Edina, friendly seat, Ye native fields adieu; Fair Lothian's lovely varied face I never shall review. Tho' far remote, those calm retreats My tend'rest thoughts employ, Where sweetly smil'd my infant days Of innocence and joy. Now lost to me those verdant meads Refresh'd with mazy rills; Those plains with groves and villas crown'd And brown-brow'd lofty hills; The lonely vale, the silver stream, That first attun'd my lyre; Their vernal beauties never more Shall raise my artless fire. Where oft the pensive muse explor'd The music of the wood, Or on the flow'ry brink enjoy'd The murmurs of the flood, No more to me those peaceful scenes Shall their delights renew; Adieu Edina, friendly seat, Ye native fields adieu.
