And won my Mary‘s heart in thee.

The broom, the brier, the birken bush,
Bloom bonnie o‘er thy flowery lea;
Aud a‘ the sweets that ane can wish
Frae Nature‘s han are‘ strew‘d in thee.

Far ben thy green planting‘s shade,
The cushat croodles am‘rously;
The mavis down thy bughted glade,
Gars echo ring frae every tree.

Awa, ye thoughtless murdering gang,
Wha tear the nestlings ere they flee!
They‘ll sing you yet a cantie sang,
Then O in pity let them be!

When winter blaws in sleety showers,
Frae aff the Norland hills sae hie,
He lightly skiffs thy bonnie bowers,
As laith to harm a flow‘r in thee.

Tho fate should drag me south the line,
Or o‘er the wide Atlantic sea,
The happy hours I‘ll ever mind,
That I in youth hae spent in thee.
