The Birks of Invermay

Behold the hills and dales around
 Wi lowing flocks and herds abound
 The wanton kids and frisking lambs
 Gambol and dance aroond their dams
 The busy bee wi humming noise
 And a' the reptile kind rejoice
 Let us like them then sport and play
 Amang the Birks o' Invermay
 How soon the winter o' the year
 And age life's winter will appear
 Tis then your living bloom will fade
 And that will strip the verdant shade
 Oor taste of pleasure then is o'er
 The feathered sangsters are no more
 But when they droop and we decay
 Fareweel the Birks o Invermay
 Hark! How the waters as they fa'
 Loudly my love tae gladness ca'
 The wanton waves sport in the beams
 And fishes play throughout the streams
 The circling sun does now advance
 And a' the planets roond them dance
 Let us like them then sport and play
 Amang the Birks o' Invermay
