Iโ€™ve heard the lilting, at the yowe-milking,

Lassies a-lilting before dawn oโ€™ day;

But now they are moaning on ilka green loaning;

The Flowers of the Forest are aโ€™ wede awayโ€.

 

Dool and wae for the order sent oor lads tae the Border!

The English for ance, by guile wan the day,

The Flooers oโ€™ the Forest, that fought aye the foremost,

The pride oโ€™ oor land lie cauld in the clay.

 

Iโ€™ve heard the lilting, at the yowe-milking,

Lassies a-lilting before dawn oโ€™ day;

But now they are moaning on ilka green loaning;

The Flowers of the Forest are aโ€™ wede awayโ€
