Into[197] her bow'r she could not rest,

Wi' grief an spite she almos brast.

Upon a morning fair an' clear,

She cried upon her sister dear:—

"O sister, come to yon sea stran,

An see our father's ships come to lan."

She's ta'en her by the milk-white han,

An led her down to yon sea stran.

The youngest stood upon a stane,

The eldest came an threw her in.
