Scotland: Vols. VI–VIII. 1876–79. | | | | Cornylee | | Ann o’ Cornylee | | John Crawford (1816–1873) |
| | | I ’LL twine a gowany garland | |
| W’ lilies frae the spring; | |
| The fairest flowers by Clutha’s side | |
| In a’ their bloom I ’ll bring. | |
| I ’ll wreathe a flowery wreath to shade | 5 |
| My lassie’s scornfu’ ee; | |
| For, O, I canna bide the frown | |
| O’ Ann o’ Cornylee. | |
| |
| Nae gilded ha’, nae downie bed | |
| My lowly cot maun cheer, | 10 |
| A sheilin’ on the banks o’ Gryfe | |
| Is a’ my worldly gear; | |
| A lanely cot, wi’ moss o’ergrown, | |
| Is a’ I ha’e to gi’e; | |
| A leal heart, sinking ’neath the scorn | 15 |
| O’ Ann o’ Cornylee. | |
| |
| The linty ’mang the yellow broom, | |
| The laverock in the lift, | |
| Ha’e never sang the waes o’ love | |
| O’ hope and joy bereft; | 20 |
| Nor has the mavis ever sang | |
| The ills I ha’e to dree. | |
| For lovin’ o’ a paughty maid, | |
| Fair Ann o’ Cornylee. | | | | |
