Sweet Afton |
| Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes |
| Flow gently, I’ll sing thee a song in thy praise |
| My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring stream |
| Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream |
| Thou stock dove whose echo resounds thro’the glen |
| Ye wild whistly blackbirds in yon thorny den |
| Thou green crested lapwing, thy screaming forbear |
| I charge you, disturb not my slumbering fair |
| Oh, how lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighboring hills |
| Far mark’d with the courses of clear winding rills |
| There daily I wander as noon rises high, oooh |
| My flocks and my Mary’s sweet cot in my eye |
| How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below |
| Where, wild in the woodlands, the primroses blow |
| There oft, as mild evening sweeps over the lea |
| The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides |
| And winds by the cot where my Mary resides |
| How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave |
| As, gathering sweet flowerets, she stems thy clear wave |
| Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes |
| Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays |
| My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring stream |
| So flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dreams |
