Now westlin winds and slaughterin guns
Bring Autumn's pleasant weather
The moorcock springs on whirrin wings
Among the bloomin heather
Now wavin grain, wide o'er the plain
Delights the weary farmer
The moon shines bright when I rove at night
To muse upon my charmer
The partridge loves the fruitful fells
The plover loves the mountains
The woodcock haunts the lonely dells
The soaring hen the fountains
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 ev'ry 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 mirdin cry
The fluttering gory pinion
But, Peggy dear, the evenin'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 ev'ry happy creature
We'll gently walk and sweetly talk
Till the silent moon shines clearly
I'll grasp thy waist and fondly prest
Swear how I love thee dearly
Not fair no showers to budding flowers
Nor Autumn to the farmer
So dear can be as thou to me
My fair, my lovely charmer
