Nae mair the howdie bicker whangs,

Nor weanies in their wee bit claes

Glour light as lammies wi' their sangs.

Yet leeze me on my bonnie byke!

My drappie aiblins blinks the noo,

An' leesome luve has lapt the dyke

Forgatherin' just a wee bit fou.

And Scotia! while thy rantin' lunt

Is mirk and moop with gowans fine,

I'll stowlins pit my unco brunt,
