'O WELL 's me o' my gay goss-hawk, That he can speak and flee ! He'll carry a letter to my love, Bring back another to me.'—

Nor wi' my eyes her saw.'—
in ' O well sail ye my true-love ken,
As soon as you her see; For, of a' the flow'rs in fair England,

There grows a bowing birk, An' sit ye down and sing thereon,
As she gangs to the kirk. |
