COME doon the howm and meet me by the gate o' rustic spars;
Above our heads the spreading tree, above the tree the stars.
We'll track the verdant woodland path among the hazels green,
Where hunters stalk at morning hour, and rabbits whid at e'en.
Then doon the howm, come doon the howm, where peep the early stars;
Then doon the howm, come doon the howm, and meet me by the spars.

Come doon the howm and meet me, love, when song-birds leave the spray,
And list the brisk and dauntless song among the rising hay.
The corncraik woos and wins his mate with rude untutor'd art,
And bids me tell with simple faith the feelings of my heart.
Then doon the howm, come doon the howm, when peep the early stars;
Then doon the howm, come doon the howm, and meet me by the spars.
