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]
