| | | GADIE wi’ its waters fleet, | |
| Ury wi’ its murmur sweet, | |
| They hae trysted aye to meet | |
| Among the woods o’ Logie. | |
| Like bride an’ bridegroom happy they, | 5 |
| Wooing smiles frae bank an’ brae, | |
| Their wedded waters wind an’ play | |
| Round leafy bowers at Logie. | |
| |
| O’er brashy linn, o’er meadow fine, | |
| They never sinder, never tyne, | 10 |
| An’, O, I thought sic meetings mine, | |
| Yon happy hours at Logie! | |
| But Fortune’s cauld an’ changefu’ e’e, | |
| Gloomed bitterly on mine an’ me, | |
| I looket syne, but cou’dna see | 15 |
| My sworn love at Logie. | |
| |
| Now lowly, lanely, I may rue | |
| The guilefu’ look, the guilefu’ vow, | |
| That fled as flees the feckless dew | |
| Frae withered leaves at Logie. | 20 |
| But Gadie wi’ its torrents keen, | |
| An’ Ury wi’ its braes sae green, | |
| They a’ can tell how true I ’ve been | |
| To my lost love in Logie. | | | | |
