The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 87

Jessie the Flower O' Dunblane

Jessie the Flower O' Dunblane.

The sun has gane down o'er the lofty Ben Lomond,
And left the red clouds to preside o'er the scene,
While lanely I stray in the calm simmer gloamin',
To muse on Sweet Jessie, the Flower o' Dunblane.
How sweet is the brier, wi' its saft fauld-in' blossom!
And sweet is the birk, wi' its mantle o' green;
Yet sweeter and fairer, and dear to this bosom,
Is lovely young Jessie, the Flower o Dunblane.
She's modest as onie, and blythe as she's bonnie;
For guileless simplicity marks her it's ain;
And far be the villain, divested o' feeling,
Wha'd blight in its bloom the sweet Flower o' Dunblane.
Sing on, thou sweet mavis, thy hymn to the e'ening,
Thou'rt dear to the echoes of Calder-wood glen;
Sae dear to this bosom, sae artless and winning,
Is charming young Jessie, the Flower o' Dunblane.
