I'm a lass o' th' forest,
Swift as th' breeze,
Silent as th' shade,
Strong as th' oak,
Soft as th' moss.
I'm a lass o' th' forest,
An' I'd be naught else,
Runnin' in th' sky,
Flyin' though th' wind,
High as th' clouds,
Deep as th' roots.
I'm a lass o' th' forest,
Where breezes play,
An' leaves dance,
Where water rushes,
An' brooks sing.
I'm a lass o' th' forest,
Born t' th' ash an' willow,
Livin' 'mong aspen an' ivy,
Lovin' in rowan an' holly,
Dyin' 'bout elder an' birch.
