As May Marg'ret sat in her bouerie,
In her bouer all alone, At the very parting o' midnicht,
She heard a mournfu' moan.
" 0 is it my father, 0 is it my mother, «
Or is it my brother John ? Or is it sweet William, my ain true love,
To Scotland new come home ? "
" It ia na your father, it is na your mother, It is na your brother John ; io
But it is sweet William, your ain true love, To Scotland new come home."— |
