Both Sides The Tweed Lyrics

Both sides the TweedWhat?s the spring ? breathing jasmin und rose?What?s the summer with all ist gay train?Or the splendour of autumn to thoseWho?ve bartered their freedom for gain?Let the love of our land?s sacred rightsto the love of our people succeedLet friendship and honour unitAnd flourish on both sides the TweedNo sweetness the senses can cheerWich corruption and bribery bind.No brightness that gloom can e?er clearFor honour?s the sum of the mind.Let the love of our land?s sacred rightsto the love of our people succeedLet friendship and honour unitAnd flourish on both sides the TweedLet virtue distinguish the bravePlace riches in lowest degree.Think them poorest who can be a slaveThem richest who dare to be free.Let the love of our land?s sacred rightsto the love of our people succeedLet friendship and honour unitAnd flourish on both sides the Tweed
