W:2.Bonny Doon, sae sweet at gloaming,
W:    Fare thee weel before I gang:
W:  Bonny Doon, where early roaming,
W:    First I weav'd the rustic sang.

W:
W:3.Bowers, adieu! where love decoying,
W:    First enthrall'd this heart o' mine;
W:  There the saftest sweets enjoying,
W:    Sweets that mem'ry ne'er shall tine.
W:
W:4.Friends so near my bosom ever,
W:    Ye hae render'd moments dear;
W:  But, alas! when forc'd to sever,
W:    Then the stroke, O how severe!
W:
W:5.Friends, that parting tear reserve it,
W:    Though 'tis doubly dear to me;
W:  Could I think I did deserve it,
W:    How much happier would I be.
W:
W:6.Scenes of woe, and scenes of pleasure,
W:    Scenes that former thoughts renew:
W:  Scenes of woe, and scenes of pleasure,
W:    Now a sad and last adieu.
