With three shining diamonds set therein,

And the birk and the broom blooms bonnie.

“As long as these diamonds keep their hue,

With a hey lillelu, and a how lo lan,

Ye’ll know that I’m a lover true,

And the birk and the broom blooms bonnie.

“But when your ring turns pale and wan,

With a hey lillelu, and a how lo lan,

Then I’m in love with another man,

And the birk and the broom blooms bonnie.”[740]
