Ye Banks and Braes o’ Bonnie Doon (song) - Did you know

Ye Banks and Braes o’ Bonnie Doon      by                     Robert Burns

Ye banks and braes o’ Bonnie Doon

How can ye Bloom sae fresh and fair

How can ye chant ye little birds

And I sae weary fu’ o’ care?

Ye’ll break my heart, ye warbling bird

That warbles on the flowery thorn

Ye mind me o’ departed joys

Departed never to return

Oft haé I roved bonnie Doon

To see the rose and woodbine twine

And ilka bird sang o’ its love

And fondly sae did I o’ mine

Wi ’lightsome heart I pu’ d a rrose

Fu’ sweet upon its thorny tree

But my fause lover stole my rose

But Ah! He left the thorn wi’ me
