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