- With your whins now in blossom,
And you lowly thatched cottage
Where oft I did stray;
To spend a night cheery
With yon lassie near me:
But now I must leave her
And cross o'er the sea.While looking around
On this dear spot of ground
Through the morning's grey mist,
I now take a last view
Of yon sunny plain
Where I first met my Jane
Among the green bushes
Of old Kilnacrew.Now my friends and old neighbours
All come to convey me
Away from the spot
I now call my home.
There's a tear in each eye
As they whisper "Goodbye",
And my blessing attend you
Where 'er you roam".
