Glenisla

Glenisla Mary

By William Wilson (1801–1860)

THERE ’s douce auld carles yont the Craft,

An’ winsome wives in Broughty Ferry;

There ’s bonny maids in Lillybank,

But nane like my Glenisla Mary.

The Seidlaw Hills are wreathed wi’ snaw,

The breakers roar aboon the Ferry;

But when the gowan decks the Law,

I ’ll meet my dear Glenisla Mary.

The wind and tide may change and veer,

But love like mine can never vary;

For lang as light to life is dear,

I ’ll love thee, sweet Glenisla Mary.
