"As we came frae the hind-hunting,

We heard fine music ring:"

"My blessings on you my bonny boy,

I wish I'd been there my lane."

He's ta en his mither by the hand,

His six brithers also,

And they are on thro' Elmond's-wood,

As fast as they could go.

(buntin', blackbird. lane, self.)

They wistna weel where they were ga en,
