 Flow Gently Sweet Afton

               - Burns Robert 詩 -                             

 

Flow gently sweet afton among thy green braes         
Flow gently I'll sing thee a song in thy praise                
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream                 
Flow gently sweet afton, disturb not her dream          

  Thou stock dove whose echo resound through the glen
Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den              
Thou greencrested lapwing thy screaming forbear      
I charge you, disturb not my slumbering fair                 

How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighboring hills               
Far marked with the courses of clear winding rills      
There daily I wander as noon rises high                        
My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye              

How pleasant thy banks and sweet valleys below      
Where wild are the woodlands, the primroses blow   
There oft, as mild evening weeps over the lea             
The sweet scented birk shades my Mary and me         

Thy crystal stream, afton, how lovely it glides              
And winds by the cot where my Mary resides              
How wanton the waters her snowy feet lave              
 As gathering sweet flowers, she stems thy clear wave

Flow gently sweet afton among thy green braes          
Flow gently sweet river, the theme of my lays              
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream                  
Flow gently sweet afton, disturb not her dream           

 

Flow Gently, Sweet Afton
