THE WINDS WHISTLE COLD.

A Glee For Three Voices, from the Musical Major Guy Mannering."
The Words hy D. Tenty, Esq. The Naistely wish yer

The winds whistle eold and the stars glimmer red,
The floeks are in fold and the cattle in shed.
The winds, &e.

When the hoar frost was chill upon moorland and hill,
And was fringing the forest bough, w
Our fathers would trowl the bonnie brown bowl.
And so will we do now, jolly hearts!
And so will we do now.

Gaffer Winter may seize upon milk in the pail;
Twill be long ere be freeze the bald brandy and ale.
For our fathers so bold they laughed at the cold,
When Boreas was bending his brow;
or they quaffed mighty ale, and they told a blithe tale.
And so will we do now, jolly hearts!
And so will we do now
