SWEET WILLIAM'S GHOST—G
[OMITTED]1
‘But plait a wand o bonny birk,And lay it on my breast,
And shed a tear upon my grave,
And wish my saul gude rest.
2
‘And fair Margret, and rare Margret,And Margret o veritie,
Gin eer ye love another man,
Neer love him as ye did me.’
3
Then up and crew the milk-white cock,And up and crew the grey;
The lover vanishd in the air,
And she gaed weeping away.
