Altered 
Altered (Robert Burns) 
How cruel are the Parents Who riches only prize, And to the wealthy booby Poor Woman sacrifice: 
Meanwhile the hapless Daughter Has but a choice of strife; 
To shun a tyrant Father's hate, Become a wretched Wife.-The ravening hawk pursuing,
 The trembling dove thus flies, To shun impelling ruin Awhile her pinions tries; Till of escape despairing, No shelter or retreat, She trusts the ruthless Falconer And drops beneath his feet. 
Tune:John Anderson My Jo
