'Twas past one o'clock in a cauld frosty morning When cankert November blaws over the plain,
I heard the kirk-bell repeat the loud warning As restless I sought for sweet slumber in vain :
Then up I arose, the silver moon shining bright,
Mountains and vallies appearing all hoary white;
Forth I would go amid the pale, silent night, To visit the fair one, the cause of my pain. |
