See Ben Clebrig, his giant front

Hidden and dark with a sudden frown;

What is the light of the valley to him,

Since Meenie's away to Glasgow town?

Empty the valley, empty the world,

The sun may arise and the sun go down;

But what to do with the lonely hours,

Since Meenie's away to Glasgow town?

Call her back, Clebrig! Mudal, call.

Ere all of the young spring time be flown;
