.While. o'er their heads the ha/els hing; White o'er the linns the burr.ie pours,
Or lightly flit on wanton wing And rifing weets wi' mifty fhowers
In the birks of Aberfeidy. The birks of Aberfeldy. £

The foamy ftream deep-roaring fa's. They ne'er fhall draw a with frae mei
O'er-hung wi' fragrant-fpreatfing fhaws, Supremely bleft wi' love and thee
The birks of Aberfeldy. In the birks of Aberfeldy.

Volumes 1-6 - Scots musical museum
DescriptionBy James Johnson. 6 volumes. Edinburgh : Printed & sold by Johnson & Co., 1787-1803. Burns contributed largely to the work, and Stephen Clarke prepared the arrangements of most of the airs. ["The volumes of the Musical museum, as originally published, were 'Humbly dedicated to the Catch Club, instituted at Edinburgh June 1771.' On the completion of the sixth and last volume, in 1803, Johnson substituted a new set of title-pages, dedicating the work 'To the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.'"--Laing's pref., to 1839 ed., v. 1, p. ii, foot-note].
