LASS OF LINNEY MOOR
& I do in the eve delight
When lambs drop down to rest the night
Ah me it is a pleasing sight
That dusk cloud creepeth oer
When weary homward sails the bee
When dews gin seeth on flower & tree
All for the love of meeting thee
Sweet lass of linney moor
When lambs drop down to rest the night
Ah me it is a pleasing sight
That dusk cloud creepeth oer
When weary homward sails the bee
When dews gin seeth on flower & tree
All for the love of meeting thee
Sweet lass of linney moor
& tho full sweet the evens dun
& tho full sweet the setting sun
& noisey routs of town to shun
As dusk clouds gather oer
If Id no hope thy face to see
The eve might come & go for me
Id meet no joy in lieu of thee
Sweet lass of linney moor
& tho full sweet the setting sun
& noisey routs of town to shun
As dusk clouds gather oer
If Id no hope thy face to see
The eve might come & go for me
Id meet no joy in lieu of thee
Sweet lass of linney moor
441
So steal wi' me from noisey town
To hillocks hid in benty down
Where secret bowers the spring head crown
Wild woodbines crouching oer
& there beneath the ashen grove
Ill gi thee stronger faith to prove
As how thou art my only love
Sweet lass of linney moor
To hillocks hid in benty down
Where secret bowers the spring head crown
Wild woodbines crouching oer
& there beneath the ashen grove
Ill gi thee stronger faith to prove
As how thou art my only love
Sweet lass of linney moor
