To whare the blossomed lilacs grow—

To whare the pine-tree, dark an' high,

Is pointing its tap at the cloudless sky.

Jeanie, mony a merry lay

Is sung in the young-leaved woods to-day;

Flits on light wing the dragon-flee,

An' bums on the flowrie the big red-bee.

Down the burnie wirks its way

Aneath the bending birken spray,
