W:Flow gently sweet Afton, among thy green braes
W:Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise.
W:My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream
W:Flow gently sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
W:
W:Thou stock-dove, whose echo resounds through the glen,
W:Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den,
W:Thou green-crested lap-wing, thy screaming forbear,
W:I charge thee disturb not my slumbering fair.
W:
W:The crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides
W:And winds by the cot where my Mary resides!
W:How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave
W:As gathering sweet flowerets she stems thy clear wave:
W:
W:Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
W:Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays.
W:My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream;
W:Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
