- | |
SEVEN Daughter had Lord Archibald | B |
All children of one mother | A |
You could not say in one short day | C |
What love they bore each other | A |
A garland of seven lilies wrought | D |
Seven sisters that together dwell | E |
But he bold Knight as ever fought | D |
Their Father took of them no thought | D |
He loved the wars so well | E |
Sing mournfully oh mournfully | E |
The solitude of Binnorie | A |
- | |
Fresh blows the wind a western wind | F |
And from the shores of Erin | G |
Across the wave a Rover brave | H |
To Binnorie is steering | I |
Right onward to the Scottish strand | J |
The gallant ship is borne | K |
The warriors leap upon the land | J |
And hark the Leader of the band | J |
Hath blown his bugle horn | K |
Sing mournfully oh mournfully | E |
The solitude of Binnorie | A |
- | |
Beside a grotto of their own | L |
With boughs above them closing | I |
The Seven are laid and in the shade | M |
They lie like fawns reposing | I |
But now upstarting with affright | M |
At noise of man and steed | M |
Away they fly to left to right | M |
Of your fair household Father knight | M |
Methinks you take small heed | M |
Sing mournfully oh mournfully | E |
The solitude of Binnorie | A |
- | |
Away the even fair Campbells fly | E |
And over hill and hollow | E |
With menace proud and insult loud | M |
The youthful Rovers follow | E |
Cried they 'Your Father loves to roam | N |
Enough for him to find | M |
The empty house when he comes home | N |
For us your yellow ringlets comb | N |
For us be fair and kind ' | - |
Sing mournfully oh mournfully | E |
The solitude of Binnorie | A |
- | |
Some close behind some side to side | M |
Like clouds in stormy weather | A |
They run and cry 'Nay let us die | E |
And let us die together ' | - |
A lake was near the shore was steep | O |
There never foot had been | G |
They ran and with a deperate leap | O |
Together plunged into the deep | O |
Nor ever more were seen | P |
Sing mournfully oh mournfully | E |
The solitude of Binnorie | A |
- | |
The stream that flows out of the lake | I |
As through the glen it rambles | Q |
Repeats a moan o'er moss and stone | L |
For those seven lovely Campbells | Q |
Seven little Islands green and bare | A |
Have risen from out the deep | O |
The fishers say those sisters fair | A |
By faeries all are buried there | A |
And there together sleep | O |
Sing mournfully oh mournfully | E |
The solitude of Binnorie | A |
