Summary

Robert Tannahill,  Ellen More (1824)

“ Loud the iron yett does clank,
⁠And cry o’ howlets maks me eerie.
⁠O are ye sleeping &c.
Aboon my breath I daurna speak,
⁠For fear I rouse your waukrife daddy,
Cauld’s the blast upon my cheek,
⁠Rise, O rise my bonnie lady.
⁠O are ye sleeping, &c.
She’s opt the door, she's let me in,
⁠He cuist aside his dreepin plaidie,
'Blaw your warst ye rain and win’,
⁠Since Maggie, now I’m in beside you.
⁠Now I’m in beside you, &c.
