Mar eal' air broilleach balbh-shruth.
Mar lilidh bheag nan tolman
Tha gilead dealbh na cailin ud.
Ged tha 'fait buidhe 'seòladh

Air gnùis grian-fheasgair òg-mhios,
Gur fada spòrs o'n ainuir ghrinn.
'S ged tha na milte 'g aoradh dhi,
Cha toir gin uam ihein i ;—
Eidh ban- aig aingle 'n naomhachd,
Ach bui Jhnidh 'n ceutachd Mali orr
Why doth each minstrel slumber ?
What can each harp encumber ?
When of the sweetest numbers
Sae worthy is my Mary, O !
Jjike sunbeam on the ocean,
Like swan on Shira's bosom,
Like April's brightest blossom,
Sae bright is sure my Mary, !
Wi' wavin' locks sae gowan
Her snowy neck surroundin',
There's naething vain or proud in
The heart o' smiling Mary, O !
Wi' thousands to adore her
She loves me only surer ; —
An angel may be purer,
But not man- sweet than Mary, i

The air is usually called " Siijhean donn an t-svgraidk."
