Yon sun is bricht the noo, fair lass,

Your locks hae brichter sheen;

The fowl ahint the windy scaur

Flees to its hame awa’,

But, oh! my heart is fleeter far

Whene’er I hear you ca’.

The cushat seeks the hazel broch

Therein his mate to woo,

But I hie to the mountain loch

To lilt my lays o’ lo’e.
