Bonnie auchenlarie wakes from sleep All the creatures from the woodlands take a peep At a sinking moon and a rising sun And the shimmering laughing sea
Rabbits run by me and tease me into chase While the pinkness of the light falls on every flower's face And the sea-birds fill the sky with dancing flight I am breathless from the salty air And every sense is stunned
By every sound and sight: mountains cast a gentle shade On swirling hills and such a wildness overhangs the glade And the craggy towering cliffs are strong Against the first warm rays of gold And the tiny pebbled cove
Yellow and red, blue and mauve: scents intoxicate and bless The heart with peace and loving tenderness Even berries on the hedgerows cast a glow On everything before them like jewels in the sun Their encrusted beauty is so fair
Its influence is everywhere and smells so fresh and sweet Like perfumed pine in the searing summer heat.
Although all human heads are still at rest This little world is at its best giving birth To a new day. The wind picks up to catch the spray And bonnie Auchenlarie blows my mind away.
