11The gowan glitters on the sward, The gowan glitters on the sward,
22The lavrock's in the sky, The lavrock's in the sky,
33And Colley on my plaid keeps ward, And Colley on my plaid keeps ward,
44And time is passing by. And time is passing by.
55Oh no! Sad and slow! Oh, no! sad and slow!
66I hear nae welcome sound! The shadow of our trysting bush
77The shadow of our trysting bush, It wears so slowly round!
88It wears so slowly round.
99 I coft yestreen from Chapman Tam
1010My sheepbell tinkles frae the west, A snood of bonnie blue,
1111My lambs are bleating near, And promised, when our trysting cam',
1212But still the sound tha I lo'e best, To tie it round her brow.
1313Alack! I canna hear. Oh, no! sad and slow!
1414Oh no! Sad and slow! The time it winna pass:
1515The shadow lingers still, The shadow of that weary thorn
1616And like a lonely ghaist I stand Is tether'd on the grass.
1717And croon upon the hill.
1818 O, now I see her on the way,
1919I hear below the water roar, She's past the Witches' Knowe:
2020Th mill wi' clakkin' din, She's climbing up the Browney's Brae,
2121And Lukky scolding frae her door, My heart is in a lowe.
2222To bring the bairnies in, Oh, no! 'tis na so!
2323Oh no! Sad and slow! 'Tis glamrie I hae seen:
2424These are nae sounds for me; The shadow of that hawthorn bush
2525The shadow of a trysting bush, Will move nae mair till e'en.
26It creeps sae drearily.
