 The lowe of love made labour light,
 * I'm sure ye'll find it sae,

When kind ye cuddle down, at e'en
 * 'Mang clean pease-strae.

The rose blooms gay on cairny brae,
 * As weel's in birchen shaw,

And love will lowe in cottage low,
 * As weel's in lofty ha'.

Sae, lassie, take the lad ye like,
 * Whate'er your minnie say,

Tho' ye should make your bridal bed
 * Of clean pease-strae.


 * Blythe, blythe and merry was she,
 * Blythe was she butt and ben;
 * Blythe by the banks of Ern,
 * And blythe in Glenturit glen.

By Ochtertyre grows the aik,
 * On Yarrow banks the hirken shaw;
