On the dowie houms of Yarrow.

"Now, haud your tongue, my daughter dear!

"For a' this breeds but sorrow;

"I'll wed ye to a better lord,

"Than him ye lost on Yarrow."

"O haud your tongue, my father dear!

"Ye mind me but of sorrow;

"A fairer rose did never bloom

"Than now lies cropp'd on Yarrow."
