- I first heard this beautiful Robert Burns' poem sung by the great Dick Gaughan and I think his rendition is the best ! I hope you' ll enjoy mine a little as well ....
Lyrics:
Now westlin winds and slaughtering guns
Bring autumn's pleasant weather
The moorcock springs on whirring wings
Among the blooming heather
Now waving grain, wild o'er the plain
Delights the weary farmer
And the moon shines bright as I rove at night
To muse upon my charmer
The partridge loves the fruitful fells
The plover loves the mountain
The woodcock haunts the lonely dells
The soaring hern the fountain
Through lofty groves the cushat roves
The path of man to shun it
The hazel bush o'erhangs the thrush
The spreading thorn the linnet
Thus every kind their pleasure find
The savage and the tender
Some social join and leagues combine
Some solitary wander
Avaunt! Away! the cruel sway,
Tyrannic man's dominion
The sportsman's joy, the murdering cry
The fluttering, gory pinion
But Peggy dear the evening's clear
Thick flies the skimming swallow
The sky is blue, the fields in view
All fading green and yellow
Come let us stray our gladsome way
And view the charms of nature
The rustling corn, the fruited thorn
And every happy creature
We'll gently walk and sweetly talk
Till the silent moon shines clearly
I'll grasp thy waist and, fondly pressed,
Swear how I love thee dearly
Not vernal showers to budding flowers
Not autumn to the farmer
So dear can be as thou to me
My fair, my lovely charmer
I love how the warm colors of your voice give this amazing song new life. Thank you.
Glad you liked it, thank you!
This just knocks me out. Your voice reminds me a bit of Mary Faul and her singing of Going Home from the movie Gods and Generals. Hope you are doing well, staying healthy and enjoying your summer. ~ Mark
I come by periodically with the hope that I might find something new from you, Louise. Disappointed that i didn’t find what I was hoping for, but it did give me an opportunity to listen to some of your past postings like this one. Absolutely beautiful. Wishing you all the best. ~ Mark
Hi Mark, thank you so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate it! Unfortunately i dont have the opportunity to record the songs i want to anymore and im looking for other alternatives.

what is the name of the singer?
I've always loved this song since I heard Dick Gaughan sing it many years ago. Your rendition is transcendent. But who did the beautiful paintings?
Hi Jpp, thanks for listening, always glad when someone likes a song😊 as for the paintings, i only know i chose scottish painters at the time, sorry. Hope to see you again at my channel
Thanks, but we'll, which Scottish painters?. In any case the pairing of the art with this rendition of the song is exquisite. Bravo!
