"Light down, light down, now, Lillie Flower,

"For its here that ye maun lye."

She lighted aff her milk-white steed,

And kneel'd upon her knee;

"O mercy, mercy, Jellon Grame,

"For I'm no prepared to die!

"Your bairn, that stirs between my sides,

"Maun shortly see the light;

"But to see it weltering in my blood,

"Would be a piteous sight."
