A DESIRE to see the Gaelic prosper and a strong conviction that its Soni
will in great measure prove the means of its redemption moved me t
give the youth of the Highlands this small earnest of what beauty is ^
store for them if they preserve their language I believe this is the firs)
attempt at putting the Poetry of the Highlands into a practical populaj
form and should this small selection meet with an encouraging demand
1 may at some future time give a further and perhaps more substantial
collection

Gur tric mi ort a smaointenchadh As t-uogais tha mi truagh
As mar a dean mi t-f haotainn Cha bhi mo shaoghal buan
Suil chorrach mar an dearcag Fon rosg a dh-iathas diu

Mar d aithris iad na bhrougan Gun tug mi fein dut run
S gur bliadhna leam gach la Bhon uair a dh-f hag mi thu
Theireadh iad man dfhalbh mi bhuat Gum bu shearbh leam dol ad choir
Gun do chuir mi cul riut S gun dhiult mi dhut mo phog
Na cuireadh sid ort curam A ruin na creid an sgleo
Tha t-anail leam nis curaidh Nan driuchd air bharr SA fheoir
Tacan mun do sheol Binn S ann a thoisioh caob
Ei innseadh do mo chruinneig Ba Nach pillinn-sa gu brath
Na cuireadh sid ort gruaimean A luaidh ma bhios mi slan
Cha chum dad idir bhuat mi Ach saighead chruaidh a bhais
Tha moran de luchd aimlisg S a shcannachais an droch sgeoil
An chridheacha mar phuisaan Cha chuimhnich iad air choir
Ach na creid an sgeula Ma gheibh a chleir oirn coir
S ma dh fhanas sinn bho cheile S i n eigin a bheir oirn
Tha n tsnuim a nise ceangailte Gu daingeann agus teaun
S e their luchd na fanoid rium Nach eil mo phrothaid ann
M fear aig om beil fortan Tha crois aige na cheann
S tha mise taingeil toiliohte Ge d tha mo sporan garni

Na cobhar na tuinne S e tilleadh bhon tragraveigh
Nam blath-bhainne buaile Sa chuaich se fo bhagraverr
Na sneachd nan gleann dosraoh Ga f hroiseadh mun bhlagraver
Air faillirin ampc
Tha cas-fhalt mo rugravein-sa Gu siugravebhlach a sniomh
Mar na neoil bhuidhe lugravebas Air stugravecaibh nan sliabh
Tha gruaidh mar an rograves Nuair as bograveidhche bhios fhiamh
Fo ugraver-dhealt a Chegraveitein Mun egraveirich a ghrian
Air faillirin ampc
Mar Bhegravenus a boisgeadh Thar choiltibh nan ard
Tha a miog-shuil ga m bhuaireadh Le suaicheantas graidh

Tha bragraveighe nan seud Ann an eideadh gach agraveidh
Mar ghealach nan speur S i cur reultan fo phragravemh
Air faillirin ampc
Bidh n uiseags an laquoHI V- cli Feadh lograveintcan uuu uriuchd
Toirt fagraveilte len ograverain Don ograveg-mhadainn chiugravein
Ach than uiseag neo-sheogravelta S an smeorach gun sunnt
Nuair thoisicheas m egraveudail Air gleusadh a ciugraveil
Air faillirin ampc
Nuair thig samhradh nan neoinean A comhdach nam bruach
Bi dh gach eoineans a chroohd-choil A ceol leis a chuaich
S bi dh mise gu h-eibhinn A leumnaichs a ruaig
Fo dhluth-gheugaibh sgaileaoh A manran ri m luaidh

Translationmdash
The locks of my fair one Redundantly flow
Like the clouds yellow wreath On the mountains high brow
Her cheeks have the tint That the roses display
When they glitter with dew In the morning of May
like the planet of Venus That gleams oer the grove
Her blue rolling eyes Are the symbols of love
Her pearl-circled bosom Diffuses bright rays
Like the moon when the stars Are bedimmed with her blaze
The mavis and lark At the breaking of dawn
Make a chorus of joy To resound through the lawn
But the mavis is tuneless mdash The lark strives in vain
When my beautiful charmer Renews her sweet strain
When summer bespangles The landscape with flowers
And the thrush and cuckoo Sing soft iu their bowers
Through the wood-shaded windings With Bella Ill rove
And feast unrestrained On the smiles of my love
Any other name may be substituted

Ho 1 my bonnie Mary My dainty love my queen
The fairest rarest Mary On earth was ever seen
Ho my queenly Mary Who made me king of men
To call thee mine own Mary Born in the bonnie glen
young was I and Mary In file windings of Glensmoil
When came that imp of Venus And caught us with his wile
And pierced us with his arrows That we thrilled in every pore
And loved as mortals never loved On this green earth before
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Oft times myself and Mary
Strayed up the bonnie glenmdash Our hearts as pure and innocent
As little children then Boy Cupid finely taught us
To dally and to toy When the shade fell from the green tree
And the sun was in the sky Ho my bonnie Mary i c
all the wealth of Albyn Were mine and treasures rare
What boots all gold and silver If sweet love be not there
More dear to me than rubies In deepest veins that shine one WBS from the lovely lips That rightly I call mine
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Thy bosoms heaving whiteness
With beauty overbrims Like swan upon the waters
When gentliest it swims
Translationmdash Like ootton on the moorland
Thy skin is soft and fine Thy neck is like the sea-gull
When dipping in the brine Ho my bonnie Mary ampo
The locks about thy dainty ears Do richly curl and twine
Dame Nature rarely grew a wealth Of ringlets like to thine
There needs no hands of hireling To twist and plait thy hair
But where it grew it winds and falls In wavy beauty there
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Like snow upon the mountains
Thy teeth are pure and white Thy breath is like the cinnamon
Thy mouth buds with delight Thy cheeks are like the cherries
Thine eyelids soft and fair And smooth thy brow untaught to
Beneath thy golden hair [frown Ho my bonnie Mary ampc
The pomp of mighty kaisers Our state doth far surpass
When neath the leafy coppice We lie upon the grass
The purple flowers around us Outspread their rich array
Where the lusty mountain streamlet Is leaping from the brae
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Nor harp nor pipe nor o^n
From touch of cunnin nen Made music half so eloc it
As our hearts thrilled with then When the blythe lark lightly soaring
And the mavis on the spray And the cuckoo in the greenwood
Sang hymns to greet the May Ho my bonnie Mary ampc

A DESIRE to see the Gaelic prosper and a strong conviction that its Soni
will in great measure prove the means of its redemption moved me t
give the youth of the Highlands this small earnest of what beauty is ^
store for them if they preserve their language I believe this is the firs)
attempt at putting the Poetry of the Highlands into a practical populaj
form and should this small selection meet with an encouraging demand
1 may at some future time give a further and perhaps more substantial

The locks of my fair one Redundantly flow
Like the clouds yellow wreath On the mountains high brow
Her cheeks have the tint That the roses display
When they glitter with dew In the morning of May
like the planet of Venus That gleams oer the grove
Her blue rolling eyes Are the symbols of love
Her pearl-circled bosom Diffuses bright rays
Like the moon when the stars Are bedimmed with her blaze
The mavis and lark At the breaking of dawn
Make a chorus of joy To resound through the lawn
But the mavis is tuneless mdash The lark strives in vain
When my beautiful charmer Renews her sweet strain
When summer bespangles The landscape with flowers
And the thrush and cuckoo Sing soft iu their bowers
Through the wood-shaded windings With Bella Ill rove
And feast unrestrained On the smiles of my love
Any other name may be substituted

Ho 1 my bonnie Mary My dainty love my queen
The fairest rarest Mary On earth was ever seen
Ho my queenly Mary Who made me king of men
To call thee mine own Mary Born in the bonnie glen
young was I and Mary In file windings of Glensmoil
When came that imp of Venus And caught us with his wile
And pierced us with his arrows That we thrilled in every pore
And loved as mortals never loved On this green earth before
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Oft times myself and Mary
Strayed up the bonnie glenmdash Our hearts as pure and innocent
As little children then Boy Cupid finely taught us
To dally and to toy When the shade fell from the green tree
And the sun was in the sky Ho my bonnie Mary i c
all the wealth of Albyn Were mine and treasures rare
What boots all gold and silver If sweet love be not there
More dear to me than rubies In deepest veins that shine one WBS from the lovely lips That rightly I call mine
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Thy bosoms heaving whiteness
With beauty overbrims Like swan upon the waters
When gentliest it swims
Translationmdash Like ootton on the moorland
Thy skin is soft and fine Thy neck is like the sea-gull
When dipping in the brine Ho my bonnie Mary ampo
The locks about thy dainty ears Do richly curl and twine
Dame Nature rarely grew a wealth Of ringlets like to thine
There needs no hands of hireling To twist and plait thy hair
But where it grew it winds and falls In wavy beauty there
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Like snow upon the mountains
Thy teeth are pure and white Thy breath is like the cinnamon
Thy mouth buds with delight Thy cheeks are like the cherries
Thine eyelids soft and fair And smooth thy brow untaught to
Beneath thy golden hair [frown Ho my bonnie Mary ampc
The pomp of mighty kaisers Our state doth far surpass
When neath the leafy coppice We lie upon the grass
The purple flowers around us Outspread their rich array
Where the lusty mountain streamlet Is leaping from the brae
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Nor harp nor pipe nor o^n
From touch of cunnin nen Made music half so eloc it
As our hearts thrilled with then When the blythe lark lightly soaring
And the mavis on the spray And the cuckoo in the greenwood
Sang hymns to greet the May Ho my bonnie Mary ampc

Gur gile mo leannan Nan eal air an t-snagravemh
Na cobhar na tuinne S e tilleadh bhon tragraveigh
Nam blath-bhainne buaile Sa chuaich se fo bhagraverr
Na sneachd nan gleann dosraoh Ga f hroiseadh mun bhlagraver
Air faillirin ampc
Tha cas-fhalt mo rugravein-sa Gu siugravebhlach a sniomh
Mar na neoil bhuidhe lugravebas Air stugravecaibh nan sliabh
Tha gruaidh mar an rograves Nuair as bograveidhche bhios fhiamh
Fo ugraver-dhealt a Chegraveitein Mun egraveirich a ghrian
Air faillirin ampc
Mar Bhegravenus a boisgeadh Thar choiltibh nan ard
Tha a miog-shuil ga m bhuaireadh Le suaicheantas graidh

Tha bragraveighe nan seud Ann an eideadh gach agraveidh
Mar ghealach nan speur S i cur reultan fo phragravemh
Air faillirin ampc
Bidh n uiseags an laquoHI V- cli Feadh lograveintcan uuu uriuchd
Toirt fagraveilte len ograverain Don ograveg-mhadainn chiugravein
Ach than uiseag neo-sheogravelta S an smeorach gun sunnt
Nuair thoisicheas m egraveudail Air gleusadh a ciugraveil
Air faillirin ampc
Nuair thig samhradh nan neoinean A comhdach nam bruach
Bi dh gach eoineans a chroohd-choil A ceol leis a chuaich
S bi dh mise gu h-eibhinn A leumnaichs a ruaig
Fo dhluth-gheugaibh sgaileaoh A manran ri m luaidh
Air faillirin ampo
Translationmdash
The locks of my fair one Redundantly flow
Like the clouds yellow wreath On the mountains high brow
Her cheeks have the tint That the roses display
When they glitter with dew In the morning of May
like the planet of Venus That gleams oer the grove
Her blue rolling eyes Are the symbols of love
Her pearl-circled bosom Diffuses bright rays
Like the moon when the stars Are bedimmed with her blaze
The mavis and lark At the breaking of dawn
Make a chorus of joy To resound through the lawn
But the mavis is tuneless mdash The lark strives in vain
When my beautiful charmer Renews her sweet strain
When summer bespangles The landscape with flowers
And the thrush and cuckoo Sing soft iu their bowers
Through the wood-shaded windings With Bella Ill rove
And feast unrestrained On the smiles of my love
Any other name may be substituted

Ho 1 my bonnie Mary My dainty love my queen
The fairest rarest Mary On earth was ever seen
Ho my queenly Mary Who made me king of men
To call thee mine own Mary Born in the bonnie glen
young was I and Mary In file windings of Glensmoil
When came that imp of Venus And caught us with his wile
And pierced us with his arrows That we thrilled in every pore
And loved as mortals never loved On this green earth before
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Oft times myself and Mary
Strayed up the bonnie glenmdash Our hearts as pure and innocent
As little children then Boy Cupid finely taught us
To dally and to toy When the shade fell from the green tree
And the sun was in the sky Ho my bonnie Mary i c
all the wealth of Albyn Were mine and treasures rare
What boots all gold and silver If sweet love be not there
More dear to me than rubies In deepest veins that shine one WBS from the lovely lips That rightly I call mine
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Thy bosoms heaving whiteness
With beauty overbrims Like swan upon the waters
When gentliest it swims
Translationmdash Like ootton on the moorland
Thy skin is soft and fine Thy neck is like the sea-gull
When dipping in the brine Ho my bonnie Mary ampo
The locks about thy dainty ears Do richly curl and twine
Dame Nature rarely grew a wealth Of ringlets like to thine
There needs no hands of hireling To twist and plait thy hair
But where it grew it winds and falls In wavy beauty there
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Like snow upon the mountains
Thy teeth are pure and white Thy breath is like the cinnamon
Thy mouth buds with delight Thy cheeks are like the cherries
Thine eyelids soft and fair And smooth thy brow untaught to
Beneath thy golden hair [frown Ho my bonnie Mary ampc
The pomp of mighty kaisers Our state doth far surpass
When neath the leafy coppice We lie upon the grass
The purple flowers around us Outspread their rich array
Where the lusty mountain streamlet Is leaping from the brae
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Nor harp nor pipe nor o^n
From touch of cunnin nen Made music half so eloc it
As our hearts thrilled with then When the blythe lark lightly soaring
And the mavis on the spray And the cuckoo in the greenwood
Sang hymns to greet the May Ho my bonnie Mary ampc

The locks of my fair one Redundantly flow
Like the clouds yellow wreath On the mountains high brow
Her cheeks have the tint That the roses display
When they glitter with dew In the morning of May
like the planet of Venus That gleams oer the grove
Her blue rolling eyes Are the symbols of love
Her pearl-circled bosom Diffuses bright rays
Like the moon when the stars Are bedimmed with her blaze
The mavis and lark At the breaking of dawn
Make a chorus of joy To resound through the lawn
But the mavis is tuneless mdash The lark strives in vain
When my beautiful charmer Renews her sweet strain
When summer bespangles The landscape with flowers
And the thrush and cuckoo Sing soft iu their bowers
Through the wood-shaded windings With Bella Ill rove
And feast unrestrained On the smiles of my love
Any other name may be substituted

Ho 1 my bonnie Mary My dainty love my queen
The fairest rarest Mary On earth was ever seen
Ho my queenly Mary Who made me king of men
To call thee mine own Mary Born in the bonnie glen
young was I and Mary In file windings of Glensmoil
When came that imp of Venus And caught us with his wile
And pierced us with his arrows That we thrilled in every pore
And loved as mortals never loved On this green earth before
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Oft times myself and Mary
Strayed up the bonnie glenmdash Our hearts as pure and innocent
As little children then Boy Cupid finely taught us
To dally and to toy When the shade fell from the green tree
And the sun was in the sky Ho my bonnie Mary i c
all the wealth of Albyn Were mine and treasures rare
What boots all gold and silver If sweet love be not there
More dear to me than rubies In deepest veins that shine one WBS from the lovely lips That rightly I call mine
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Thy bosoms heaving whiteness
With beauty overbrims Like swan upon the waters
When gentliest it swims
Translationmdash Like ootton on the moorland
Thy skin is soft and fine Thy neck is like the sea-gull
When dipping in the brine Ho my bonnie Mary ampo
The locks about thy dainty ears Do richly curl and twine
Dame Nature rarely grew a wealth Of ringlets like to thine
There needs no hands of hireling To twist and plait thy hair
But where it grew it winds and falls In wavy beauty there
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Like snow upon the mountains
Thy teeth are pure and white Thy breath is like the cinnamon
Thy mouth buds with delight Thy cheeks are like the cherries
Thine eyelids soft and fair And smooth thy brow untaught to
Beneath thy golden hair [frown Ho my bonnie Mary ampc
The pomp of mighty kaisers Our state doth far surpass
When neath the leafy coppice We lie upon the grass
The purple flowers around us Outspread their rich array
Where the lusty mountain streamlet Is leaping from the brae
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Nor harp nor pipe nor o^n
From touch of cunnin nen Made music half so eloc it
As our hearts thrilled with then When the blythe lark lightly soaring
And the mavis on the spray And the cuckoo in the greenwood
Sang hymns to greet the May Ho my bonnie Mary ampc

Do ghuth mar smeorach sa choill S tric thu seinn aig a Chaisteal
Bha mi greis an deass an tuath A measg ghruagaichean tlachd-mhor

Ho 1 my bonnie Mary My dainty love my queen
The fairest rarest Mary On earth was ever seen
Ho my queenly Mary Who made me king of men
To call thee mine own Mary Born in the bonnie glen
young was I and Mary In file windings of Glensmoil
When came that imp of Venus And caught us with his wile
And pierced us with his arrows That we thrilled in every pore
And loved as mortals never loved On this green earth before
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Oft times myself and Mary
Strayed up the bonnie glenmdash Our hearts as pure and innocent
As little children then Boy Cupid finely taught us
To dally and to toy When the shade fell from the green tree
And the sun was in the sky Ho my bonnie Mary i c
all the wealth of Albyn Were mine and treasures rare
What boots all gold and silver If sweet love be not there
More dear to me than rubies In deepest veins that shine one WBS from the lovely lips That rightly I call mine
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Thy bosoms heaving whiteness
With beauty overbrims Like swan upon the waters
When gentliest it swims
Translationmdash Like ootton on the moorland
Thy skin is soft and fine Thy neck is like the sea-gull
When dipping in the brine Ho my bonnie Mary ampo
The locks about thy dainty ears Do richly curl and twine
Dame Nature rarely grew a wealth Of ringlets like to thine
There needs no hands of hireling To twist and plait thy hair
But where it grew it winds and falls In wavy beauty there
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Like snow upon the mountains
Thy teeth are pure and white Thy breath is like the cinnamon
Thy mouth buds with delight Thy cheeks are like the cherries
Thine eyelids soft and fair And smooth thy brow untaught to
Beneath thy golden hair [frown Ho my bonnie Mary ampc
The pomp of mighty kaisers Our state doth far surpass
When neath the leafy coppice We lie upon the grass
The purple flowers around us Outspread their rich array
Where the lusty mountain streamlet Is leaping from the brae
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Nor harp nor pipe nor o^n
From touch of cunnin nen Made music half so eloc it
As our hearts thrilled with then When the blythe lark lightly soaring
And the mavis on the spray And the cuckoo in the greenwood
Sang hymns to greet the May Ho my bonnie Mary ampc

Ho 1 my bonnie Mary My dainty love my queen
The fairest rarest Mary On earth was ever seen
Ho my queenly Mary Who made me king of men
To call thee mine own Mary Born in the bonnie glen
young was I and Mary In file windings of Glensmoil
When came that imp of Venus And caught us with his wile
And pierced us with his arrows That we thrilled in every pore
And loved as mortals never loved On this green earth before
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Oft times myself and Mary
Strayed up the bonnie glenmdash Our hearts as pure and innocent
As little children then Boy Cupid finely taught us
To dally and to toy When the shade fell from the green tree
And the sun was in the sky Ho my bonnie Mary i c
all the wealth of Albyn Were mine and treasures rare
What boots all gold and silver If sweet love be not there
More dear to me than rubies In deepest veins that shine one WBS from the lovely lips That rightly I call mine
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Thy bosoms heaving whiteness
With beauty overbrims Like swan upon the waters
When gentliest it swims
Translationmdash Like ootton on the moorland
Thy skin is soft and fine Thy neck is like the sea-gull
When dipping in the brine Ho my bonnie Mary ampo
The locks about thy dainty ears Do richly curl and twine
Dame Nature rarely grew a wealth Of ringlets like to thine
There needs no hands of hireling To twist and plait thy hair
But where it grew it winds and falls In wavy beauty there
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Like snow upon the mountains
Thy teeth are pure and white Thy breath is like the cinnamon
Thy mouth buds with delight Thy cheeks are like the cherries
Thine eyelids soft and fair And smooth thy brow untaught to
Beneath thy golden hair [frown Ho my bonnie Mary ampc
The pomp of mighty kaisers Our state doth far surpass
When neath the leafy coppice We lie upon the grass
The purple flowers around us Outspread their rich array
Where the lusty mountain streamlet Is leaping from the brae
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Nor harp nor pipe nor o^n
From touch of cunnin nen Made music half so eloc it
As our hearts thrilled with then When the blythe lark lightly soaring
And the mavis on the spray And the cuckoo in the greenwood
Sang hymns to greet the May Ho my bonnie Mary ampc

Ho 1 my bonnie Mary My dainty love my queen
The fairest rarest Mary On earth was ever seen
Ho my queenly Mary Who made me king of men
To call thee mine own Mary Born in the bonnie glen
young was I and Mary In file windings of Glensmoil
When came that imp of Venus And caught us with his wile
And pierced us with his arrows That we thrilled in every pore
And loved as mortals never loved On this green earth before
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Oft times myself and Mary
Strayed up the bonnie glenmdash Our hearts as pure and innocent
As little children then Boy Cupid finely taught us
To dally and to toy When the shade fell from the green tree
And the sun was in the sky Ho my bonnie Mary i c
all the wealth of Albyn Were mine and treasures rare
What boots all gold and silver If sweet love be not there
More dear to me than rubies In deepest veins that shine one WBS from the lovely lips That rightly I call mine
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Thy bosoms heaving whiteness
With beauty overbrims Like swan upon the waters
When gentliest it swims
Translationmdash Like ootton on the moorland
Thy skin is soft and fine Thy neck is like the sea-gull
When dipping in the brine Ho my bonnie Mary ampo
The locks about thy dainty ears Do richly curl and twine
Dame Nature rarely grew a wealth Of ringlets like to thine
There needs no hands of hireling To twist and plait thy hair
But where it grew it winds and falls In wavy beauty there
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Like snow upon the mountains
Thy teeth are pure and white Thy breath is like the cinnamon
Thy mouth buds with delight Thy cheeks are like the cherries
Thine eyelids soft and fair And smooth thy brow untaught to
Beneath thy golden hair [frown Ho my bonnie Mary ampc
The pomp of mighty kaisers Our state doth far surpass
When neath the leafy coppice We lie upon the grass
The purple flowers around us Outspread their rich array
Where the lusty mountain streamlet Is leaping from the brae
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Nor harp nor pipe nor o^n
From touch of cunnin nen Made music half so eloc it
As our hearts thrilled with then When the blythe lark lightly soaring
And the mavis on the spray And the cuckoo in the greenwood
Sang hymns to greet the May Ho my bonnie Mary ampc

And pierced us with his arrows That we thrilled in every pore
And loved as mortals never loved On this green earth before
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Oft times myself and Mary
Strayed up the bonnie glenmdash Our hearts as pure and innocent
As little children then Boy Cupid finely taught us
To dally and to toy When the shade fell from the green tree
And the sun was in the sky Ho my bonnie Mary i c
all the wealth of Albyn Were mine and treasures rare
What boots all gold and silver If sweet love be not there
More dear to me than rubies In deepest veins that shine one WBS from the lovely lips That rightly I call mine
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Thy bosoms heaving whiteness
With beauty overbrims Like swan upon the waters
When gentliest it swims
Translationmdash Like ootton on the moorland
Thy skin is soft and fine Thy neck is like the sea-gull
When dipping in the brine Ho my bonnie Mary ampo
The locks about thy dainty ears Do richly curl and twine
Dame Nature rarely grew a wealth Of ringlets like to thine
There needs no hands of hireling To twist and plait thy hair
But where it grew it winds and falls In wavy beauty there
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Like snow upon the mountains
Thy teeth are pure and white Thy breath is like the cinnamon
Thy mouth buds with delight Thy cheeks are like the cherries
Thine eyelids soft and fair And smooth thy brow untaught to
Beneath thy golden hair [frown Ho my bonnie Mary ampc
The pomp of mighty kaisers Our state doth far surpass
When neath the leafy coppice We lie upon the grass
The purple flowers around us Outspread their rich array
Where the lusty mountain streamlet Is leaping from the brae
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Nor harp nor pipe nor o^n
From touch of cunnin nen Made music half so eloc it
As our hearts thrilled with then When the blythe lark lightly soaring
And the mavis on the spray And the cuckoo in the greenwood
Sang hymns to greet the May Ho my bonnie Mary ampc

Ho 1 my bonnie Mary My dainty love my queen
The fairest rarest Mary On earth was ever seen
Ho my queenly Mary Who made me king of men
To call thee mine own Mary Born in the bonnie glen
young was I and Mary In file windings of Glensmoil
When came that imp of Venus And caught us with his wile
And pierced us with his arrows That we thrilled in every pore
And loved as mortals never loved On this green earth before
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Oft times myself and Mary
Strayed up the bonnie glenmdash Our hearts as pure and innocent
As little children then Boy Cupid finely taught us
To dally and to toy When the shade fell from the green tree
And the sun was in the sky Ho my bonnie Mary i c
all the wealth of Albyn Were mine and treasures rare
What boots all gold and silver If sweet love be not there
More dear to me than rubies In deepest veins that shine one WBS from the lovely lips That rightly I call mine
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Thy bosoms heaving whiteness
With beauty overbrims Like swan upon the waters
When gentliest it swims
Translationmdash Like ootton on the moorland
Thy skin is soft and fine Thy neck is like the sea-gull
When dipping in the brine Ho my bonnie Mary ampo
The locks about thy dainty ears Do richly curl and twine
Dame Nature rarely grew a wealth Of ringlets like to thine
There needs no hands of hireling To twist and plait thy hair
But where it grew it winds and falls In wavy beauty there
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Like snow upon the mountains
Thy teeth are pure and white Thy breath is like the cinnamon
Thy mouth buds with delight Thy cheeks are like the cherries
Thine eyelids soft and fair And smooth thy brow untaught to
Beneath thy golden hair [frown Ho my bonnie Mary ampc
The pomp of mighty kaisers Our state doth far surpass
When neath the leafy coppice We lie upon the grass
The purple flowers around us Outspread their rich array
Where the lusty mountain streamlet Is leaping from the brae
Ho my bonnie Mary ampc Nor harp nor pipe nor o^n
From touch of cunnin nen Made music half so eloc it
As our hearts thrilled with then When the blythe lark lightly soaring
And the mavis on the spray And the cuckoo in the greenwood
Sang hymns to greet the May Ho my bonnie Mary ampc
