Flowers of the Forest

We'll have no more lilting, at the ewe-milking,
Women and children are sad with woe.
Sighing and moaning, on each green loaning,*
The Flowers of the Forest are all withered away

from the song "Flowers of the Forest"
by: Jean Elliot, tr. W.A.Smith

* Loaning - grassy path to grazing fields
