Song—Fragment—Damon and Sylvia

by Robert Burns, 1791

Yon wandering rill that marks the hill,
  And glances o'er the brae, Sir,
Slides by a bower, where mony a flower
  Sheds fragrance on the day, Sir;
There Damon lay, with Sylvia gay,
  To love they thought no crime, Sir,
The wild birds sang, the echoes rang,
  While Damon's heart beat time, Sir.
