Gloomy Winter's now awa. Gloomy winters now awa,

Saft the welin breezes blaw:

‘Mang the birks o‘ tanly haw.

The mavis ings u cheery O;

Sweet the craw-flewers early bell,

Decks Gleniffers dewy dell;

Blooming like thy bonny fel'.

My young, my artles dearie O.

Come my laie let us tray

O'er Glenkillochs fanny brae,

Blythly pend the gouden day,

Midt joys that never weary O.

Tow'ring o'er the Newton woods,

Lav'rocks fan the naw white clouds;

Siller aughs wi' downy buds,

Adorn the bank fae briery O;

Around the ilvan fairy nocks,

Feathery breckens fringe the rocks;

Neath the brae the burnie jouks;

And ilka thing is cheery O.

Trees may bud, and birds may ing,

Flow'rs may bloom, and verdure prin

Joy to me they canno bring,

Unles wi'thee my dearie O.
