From Buchan's Ancient Ballads and Songs of the North of Scotland, (i. 204.)

Bowing down, bowing down ; The fairest women under heaven.
And aye the birks a-bowing.

She hadna tarried an hour but ane,
Till she met wi' a highlan' groom. 10
He keeped her sae late and lang,
Till the evening set, and birds they sang.
He ga'e to her at their parting, A chain o' gold, and gay gold ring: |
