This is a setting of Scots words in a lilting Scots folk idiom
To me this is a wistful and yet optimistic song about love: it can be blown away like a flower in the wind, but it still leaves a trace in the heart.
Pronunciation guide included
Words
I heard my name at gloamin' late [
half-light, dusk]
I heard it cried sae clear and sma', [
so clear and small]
But ere my fit was at the yett [
before my foot was at the gate]
The wind had blawn the soond awa'. [
blown the sound away]
A rose o' love grew at my door,
I happit it frae frost and snaw; [
covered it]
A sough o' wind cam' ower the moor, [
sigh]
The wind has blawn the rose awa;.
Nae cry to hear, nae floo'er to fa' ; [
flower]
Noo blaw the wind frae ony airt [
now blow the wind from any direction]
The thocht o' them it ne'er can blaw [
thought]
Frae the warm shielin' o' my hairt. [
shelter]
