She'll steal out to meet her loved Donald again;

And when the moon shines on the valley so green,

I'll welcome the lass wi' the bonny blue een.

As the dove that has wandered away from his nest

Returns to the mate his fond heart loves the best,

I'll fly from the world's false and vanishing scene,

To my dear one, the lass wi' the bonny blue een.
