“ While sair she grat on Logan braes: Says he, "What gars thee greet sae sair, What fills thy heart sae fu' o' care? Thae sporting lambs has blythsome days An' playfu' skip on Logan braes?" "What can I do but weep and mourn? ”
John Mayne, The Book of Scottish Song (1843)
“ This beautiful song is the production of John Mayne, author of the "Siller Gun," "Glasgow, a poem," &c. Mayne was a native of Dumfries, but spent the early part of his life in Glasgow, where he served an apprenticeship as a compositor under the celebrated printers, Foulis. He afterwards removed to London, and was long connected there with the Star daily newspaper. He died on the 14th March, 1836. ”
