Here Is The Glen.
By Robert Burns
Tune - "Banks of Cree." I. Here is the glen, and here the bower, All underneath the birchen shade; The village-bell has told the hour - O what can stay my lovely maid? II. 'Tis not Maria's whispering call; 'Tis but the balmy-breathing gale, Mix'd with some warbler's dying fall, The dewy star of eve to hail. III. It is Maria's voice I hear! So calls the woodlark in the grove, His little, faithful mate to cheer, At once 'tis music - and 'tis love. IV. And art thou come? and art thou true? O welcome, dear to love and me! And let us all our vows renew Along the flow'ry banks of Cree.
