Ye banks and braes o’ bonnie Doon, How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair? How can ye chant, ye little birds, And I sae weary, fu’ o’ care? The’ll break my heart, ye warbling birds That wanton through the flowery thorn; Ye mind me o’ departed joys, Departed, never to return. Aft hae I roved by bonnie Doon To see the rose and woodbine twine: And ilka bird sang o’ its Luve, And fondly did I sae o’ mine. Wi’ lightsome heart I pu’d a rose, Fu’ sweet upon its thorny tree; And my fause Luver staw my rose But ah! he left the thorn wi’ me.
