DAINTY DAVIE. Now rosy May comes in wi' flowers, CHORUS. Meet me on the warlock knowe, The crystal waters round us fa, When purple morning starts the hare, When day, expiring in the west, And that's my ain dear Davie. CHORUS.

CA' the yowes to the knowes, Ca' them whare the heather graws, Hark, the mavis' evening sang, We'll gae down by Clouden side, Yonder Clouden's silent tow'rs, Ghaist nor bogle shalt thou fear; Thou'rt to love and heaven sae dear, Nocht of ill may come thee near, Ca' the, &c.
