As always when alone, his thoughts reverted to the past, and now he smiled at a memory of langsyne.

He has been with me for almost three hours, and we have had a long smoke together and a grand talk over the times and folks of auld langsyne.

Weel, and ye shall hear; for my mother used to tell me the langsyne stories sae aft, that I can just repeat them in her ain words.

And it may be their numbers indeed are divine, Though they move not my heart through mine ears, But a ballad old of the dear "langsyne" Can alone claim my tribute of tears.
