I DREAMT a dream the other night: Lowlands, hurrah, my John: I dreamt a dream the other night, My Lowlands a-ray. I dreamt I saw my own true love; Lowlands, hurrah, my John: I dreamt I saw my own true love, My Lowlands a-ray. He was green and wet with weeds so cold: Lowlands, hurrah, my John: He was green and wet with weeds so cold; My Lowlands a-ray. 'I am drowned in the Lowland seas', he said: Lowlands, hurrah, my John: 'I am drowned in the Lowland seas', he said: My Lowlands a-ray. 'I shall never kiss you again', he said: Lowlands, hurrah, my John: 'I shall never kiss you again', he said: My Lowlands a-ray. I will cut away my bonny hair: Lowlands, hurrah, my John: I will cut away my bonny hair, My Lowlands a-ray. No other man shall think me fair: Lowlands, hurrah, my John: No other man shall think me fair: My Lowlands a-ray. O my love lies drowned in the windy Lowlands: Lowlands, hurrah, my John: O my love lies drowned in the windy Lowlands, My Lowlands a-ray. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 47.
