¶Liedtext

My love was once a bonny lad, He was the flower of a' his kin; The absence of his bonny face Has rent my tender heart in twain; I day nor night find no delight, In silent tears I still complain; And exclaim 'gainst those my rival foes, That hae ta'en from me my darling swain. Despair and anguish fill my breast Since I have lost my blooming rose; I sigh and moan, while others rest, His absence yields me no repose. To seek my love I'll range and rove Thro' ev'ry grove and distant plain: Thus I'll ne'er cease, but spend my days To hear tidings from my darling swain.
