A bonnie laddie tended the rose baith aire and late,
He watered it, he fanned it, ho wove it with his fate ;
And the leal hearts of Scotland prayed it might never fa',

He watered it, he fanned it, and wove it wi' his fate ;
But the thistle tap it withered, winds bore it far awa',
And Scotland's heart was brokea for the rose sae like the
