BLYTHE WAS SHE.
By Oughtertyre grows the aik,on Yarrow banks, the birken shaw;But Phemie was a bonnier lassthan braes of Yarrow ever saw.
Blythe, blythe and merry was she,blythe was she but and ben;Blythe by the banks of Earn,and blythe in Glenturit glen:
Her looks were like a flower in May,her smile was like a summer morn;She tripped by the banks of Earnas light's a bird upon a thorn.Blythe, &c.
