Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDD EDEDFDFD AGAGHDHD IBIBDDDD| Hear me ye nymphs and every swain | A |
| I'll tell how Peggy grieves me | B |
| Though thus I languish and complain | A |
| Alas she ne'er believes me | B |
| My vows and sighs like silent air | C |
| Unheeded never move her | D |
| At the bonnie Bush aboon Traquair | D |
| 'Twas there I first did love her | D |
| - | |
| That day she smiled and made me glad | E |
| No maid seemed ever kinder | D |
| I thought myself the luckiest lad | E |
| So sweetly there to find her | D |
| I tried to soothe my amorous flame | F |
| In words that I thought tender | D |
| If more there passed I'm not to blame | F |
| I meant not to offend her | D |
| - | |
| Yet now she scornful flies the plain | A |
| The fields we then frequented | G |
| If e'er we meet she shows disdain | A |
| She looks as ne'er acquainted | G |
| The bonnie bush bloomed fair in May | H |
| Its sweets I'll aye remember | D |
| But now her frowns make it decay | H |
| It fades as in December | D |
| - | |
| Ye rural powers who hear my strains | I |
| Why thus should Peggy grieve me | B |
| Oh make her partner in my pains | I |
| Then let her smiles relieve me | B |
| If not my love will turn despair | D |
| My passion no more tender | D |
| I'll leave the Bush aboon Traquair | D |
| To lonely wilds I'll wander | D |
