They Came upon Us in the Night

[THEY came upon us in the night,
And brake my bower and slew my knight ;
My servants a' for life did flee
And left us in extremitie.
They slew my knight to me sae dear;
They slew my knight, and drave his gear,]
The moon may set, the sun may rise,
But a deadly sleep has closed his eyes.

But follow, follow me.
While glowworms light the lea,
I'll show ye where the dead should be--
Each in his shroud,
While winds pipe loud,
And the red moon peeps dim through the cloud.

Follow, follow me;
Brave should he be
That treads by night the dead man's lea.
