William Soutar Translation

Ballad by William Soutar translation/modernization by Michael R. Burch O, surely you have seen my love Down where the waters wind: He walks like one who fears no man And yet his eyes are kind! O, surely you have seen my love At the turning of the tide: For then he gathers in his nets Down by the waterside! Yes, lassie we have seen your love At the turning of the tide: For he was with the fisher folk Down by the waterside. The fisher folk worked at their trade No far from Walnut Grove: They gathered in their dripping nets And found your one true love!
