"The first two stanzas of this song are by David Mallet (born 1714; died 1765;) the other stanzas are generally ascribed to the Rev. Alex. Bryce, minister of Kirknewton (born 1713; died 1786.) Mallet's verses appeared in the Orpheus Caledonius, where they are directed to be sung "to a Scotch tune, The Birks of Endermay." They are also given, with the three additional stanzas, in the 4th vol. of the Tea Table Miscellany."—Alexander Whitelaw, The Book of Scottish Song (1843).
