Gloomy winter's now awa, Saft the westlin breezes blaw, 'Mang the birks of Stan ey shaw The mavis sings fu cheery O;

Sweet the crawflower's early bell Decks Gleniffer's dewy dell, Blooming like thy bonnie sel, My young, my artless dearie O.

Towering o'er the Newton woods, Lav'rocks fan the sna-white clouds, Siller saughs wi downy buds, Adorn the banks sae briery O;

Round the sylvan fairy nooks, Feathery brackens fringe the rocks, 'Neath the brae the burnie jouks, And ilka thing is cheary O;
