Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

The Foveran Burn at gloamin' time

The sun has gane down o'er the lofty Benlomond, And left the red clouds to preside o'er the scene, While lanely I stray, in the calm simmer gloamin', To muse on sweet Jessie, the flower o' Dunblane. How sweet is the brier wi' its saft faulding blossom, And sweet is the birk, wi' its mantle o'green; Yet sweeter, and fairer, and dear to this bosom, Is lovely young Jessie, the flower o' Dunblane.

A very happy St. Andrew's day to everyone.

Robert Tannahill 'Jessie, the Flower o' Dunblane', stanza1.
