It’s fair to see the burnie kiss

The lip o’ the flowery lea—

An’ fine it is on green hill-side,

Where hums the bonny bee—

But rarer, fairer, finer far

Is the Ingle-Side for me.

Glens may be gilt wi’ gowans rare,

The birds may fill the tree,

An’ haughs hae a’ the scented ware

That simmer growth can gie—
