The Birks of Invermay

歌詞

Behold the hills and dales around Wi lowing flocks and herds abound The wanton kids and frisking lambs Gambol and dance aroond their dams The busy bee wi humming noise And a' the reptile kind rejoice Let us like them then sport and play Amang the Birks o' Invermay How soon the winter o' the year And age life's winter will appear Tis then your living bloom will fade And that will strip the verdant shade Oor taste of pleasure then is o'er The feathered sangsters are no more But when they droop and we decay Fareweel the Birks o Invermay Hark! How the waters as they fa' Loudly my love tae gladness ca' The wanton waves sport in the beams And fishes play throughout the streams The circling sun does now advance And a' the planets roond them dance Let us like them then sport and play Amang the Birks o' Invermay
