How blithe, ilk morn, was I to see
My swain come o'er the "Hill !
He skipt the burn and flew to me :
I met him with good-will.
Oh, the brume, the bonnie, bonnie brume !
The brume o' the Cowdenknowes !
I wish I were with my dear swain,
With his pipe and my yowes.
I wanted neither yowe nor lamb,
While his flock near me lay ;
He gathered in my sheep at night,
And cheered me a' the day.
He tuned his pipe, and played sae sweet,
The birds sat listening bye ;
E'en the dull cattle stood and gazed,
Charmed with the melodye.
