Will Ye Go, Lassie Go



Oh the Summer time is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
 From around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go





I will build my love a bower
Near yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go lassie go
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
From around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go




If my true love she were gone
I will surely find no other
Where wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
From around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go

  1. That boxy structure certainly adds something. Nice contrast to her smooth lines.

  2. These images are so incredibly beautiful (the second one in particular made me teary-eyed). Artwork like this makes living in this world so much easier. And to have the lyrics to a song I have long-loved is an added bonus! Thank you so, so, so much for sharing.
