Robert Tannahill

Summary

Robert Tannahill Bonny Mally Stewart (1826)

Now naething is heard but the wind whistling dreary,
⁠And naething is seen but the wide-speading snaw
The trees are a' bare, an' the birds mu e a n to down
⁠They shake the cauld drift frae their wings as they flee,
An' chirp out their plaints, seeming wae for my Johnnie,
⁠'Tis winter with them, and 'tis winter wi' me.
