While the moon-beams, all bright
gives a luster to night.
I’ll weep on his dwelling so narrow,
and high o’er his grave
the willow trees wave
who died on the banks of the Yarrow.

‘T was under this shade,
hand in hand as we strayed,
he fell by the flight of an arrow,
and fast from the wound
his blood stained the ground
who died on the banks of the Yarrow.
