W:2.Aft hae I stray'd by bonny Doon,
W:    To see the rose and woodbine twine,
W:  And hear ilk bird sing of its love,
W:    As fondly sae did I of mine:
%page 174
W:  Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
W:    Sae sweet upon its thorny tree;
W:  But my fause love has stown the rose,
W:    And left the sharpest thorn to me.
W:
W:3.O blaw, ye flow'rs, your bonny bloom,
W:    And draw the wild birds by the burn!
W:  For Lumon promised me a ring,
W:    And ye maun aid me, should I mourn.
W:  O na, na, na, ye need na bloom!
W:    My een are dim and drowsy worn;
W:  Ye bonny birds, ye need na sing,
W:    For Lumon never will return.
W:
W:4.My Lumon's love, in broken sighs,
W:    At dawning day by Boon ye'se hear;
W:  And mid-day, by the willow green,
W:    For him I'll shed a silent tear.
W:  Sweet birds! I ken ye'Il pity me,
W:    And join me wi' a plaintive sang,
W:  While echoes wake, and pour the mane
W:    I mak for him I lo'ed sae lang.
