The shadow of that hawthorn bush

Will move nae mair till e’en.

My book o’ grace I’ll try to read,

Tho’ con’d wi’ little skill;

When colley barks, I’ll raise my head,

And find her on the hill.

Oh no! ’tis nae so!

The time will ne’er be gane!

The shadow of the trysting-bush

Is fix’d like ony stane.
