Missing Words
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon, How can bloom sae fresh and fair? How can ye chant, little birds, And I sae weary, fu' o' care?
Thou'lt break my heart, thou warbling bird, That wantons through flowering thorn; Thou minds me o' departed joys, Departed—never return.
Thou'lt break my heart, thou bonnie bird, That beside thy mate; For sae I sat, and sae sang, And wistna o' my fate.
Aft hae I by bonnie Doon, To see the rose and woodbine twine; And ilka bird sang o' its luve, And, fondly, did I o' mine.
Wi' lightsome heart I pou'd rose, Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree; And my luver stole my rose, But ah! he left the wi' me.
Congratulations! You got all the answers correct!
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?
Thou'lt break my heart, thou warbling bird, That wantons through the flowering thorn; Thou minds me o' departed joys, Departed—never to return.
Thou'lt break my heart, thou bonnie bird, That sings beside thy mate; For sae I sat, and sae I sang, And wistna o' my fate.
Aft hae I roved by bonnie Doon, To see the rose and woodbine twine; And ilka bird sang o' its luve, And, fondly, sae did I o' mine.
Wi' lightsome heart I pou'd a rose, Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree; And my fause luver stole my rose, But ah! he left the thorn wi' me.
