Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCB DBDDB BD DEDEBDBD| BY Allan stream I chanc'd to rove | A |
| While Phoebus sank beyond Benledi | B |
| The winds are whispering thro' the grove | A |
| The yellow corn was waving ready | B |
| I listen'd to a lover's sang | C |
| An' thought on youthfu' pleasures mony | B |
| And aye the wild wood echoes rang | C |
| O dearly do I love thee Annie | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| O happy be the woodbine bower | D |
| Nae nightly bogle make it eerie | B |
| Nor ever sorrow stain the hour | D |
| The place and time I met my Dearie | D |
| Her head upon my throbbing breast | B |
| She sinking said I'm thine for ever ' | - |
| While mony a kiss the seal imprest | B |
| The sacred vow we ne'er should sever | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| The haunt o' Spring's the primrose brae | D |
| The Summer joys the flocks to follow | E |
| How cheery thro' her short'ning day | D |
| Is Autumn in her weeds o' yellow | E |
| But can they melt the glowing heart | B |
| Or chain the soul in speechless pleasure | D |
| Or thro' each nerve the rapture dart | B |
| Like meeting her our bosom's treasure | D |
