Here we bring new water

from the well so clear,

For to worship God with,

this happy New Year.

Sing levy dew, sing levy dew,

the water and the wine;

The seven bright gold wires

and the bugles that do shine.

Sing reign of Fair Maid,

with gold upon her toe,—

Open you the West Door,

and turn the Old Year go.

Sing reign of Fair Maid

with gold upon her chin,—

Open you the East Door,

and let the New Year in.

Sing levy dew, sing levy dew,

the water and the wine;

The seven bright gold wires

and the bugles they do shine.

The jolie Cok crauis;

Nou shroudis the shauis,

Throu Natur anone.

The thissell-cok cryis

On louers wha lyis,

Nou skaillis the skyis;

The nicht is neir gone.

"The feildis ouerflouis

With gowans that grouis,

Quhair lilies lyk lou is,

Als rid as the rone.
