| | | RED gleams the sun on yon hill-tap, | |
| The dew sits on the gowan; | |
| Deep murmurs through her glens the Spey, | |
| Around Kinrara rowan. | |
| Where art thou, fairest, kindest lass? | 5 |
| Alas! wert thou but near me, | |
| Thy gentle soul, thy melting eye, | |
| Would ever, ever cheer me. | |
| |
| The laverock sings among the clouds, | |
| The lambs they sport so cheerie, | 10 |
| And I sit weeping by the birk: | |
| O, where art thou, my dearie? | |
| Aft may I meet the morning dew, | |
| Lang greet till I be weary; | |
| Thou canna, winna, gentle maid! | 15 |
| Thou canna be my dearie. | | | | |
