Mabel's Song

F. Allitsen

Mabel

(singing in the next room):

There's nae lark loves the lift, my dear,

There's nae ship loves the sea,

There's nae bee loves the heather-bells,

That loves as I love thee, my love,

That loves as I love thee.

The whin shines fair upon the fell,

The blithe broom on the lea:

The muirside wind is merry at heart;

It's a' for love of thee, my love,

It's a' for love of thee.
