“the wind wears roun’, the day wears doun

o blithe and braw were the bride-folk a’
but sad and saft rade she;
and sad as doom was her fause bridegroom
but fair and fain was he
in, in, out and in
blaws the wind and whirls the whin

“and winna ye bide, sae saft ye ride
and winna ye speak wi’ me?

he’s set his hand to her bridle-rein
he’s turned her horse away:
and the cry was sair, and the wrath was mair
and fast and fain rode they

blaws the wind and whirls the whin

but when they came by chollerford
i wot the ways were fell;
for broad and brown the spate swang down
and the lift was mirk as hell
in, in, out and in
blaws the wind and whirls the whin

“and will ye ride yon fell water
or will ye bide for fear?
nae scathe ye’ll win o’ your father’s kin
though they should slay me here.”

and thou be slain beside.”

wi’ the stanes to make my bed
and the faem to hide me, and thou beside me
than i wad see thee dead.”

on cheek and lip and chin:
he’s wound her rein to his hand again

but when they wan to the mid water
it smote them hand and head:
and nae man knows but the wave that flows
where they lie drowned and dead
in, in, out and in
blaws the wind and whirls the whin
