\n In simmer, when the hay was mawn
\nAnd corn wav’d green in ilka feild,
\nWhile claver blooms white o’er the lea
\nAnd roses blaw in ilka bield!
\nBlythe Bessie in the milking shiel,
\nSays – I’ll be wed, come o’t what will:
\nOut spake a dame in wrinkled eild-
\nO’ gude advisement comes nae ill.<\/td>\nIn simmer, quhan the hey wis mawn
